Athy Community Mens Shed

Athy Community Mens Shed Community based group for men of all ages to come together and undertake a variety of activities. A Men’s Shed is a Community based group for men of all ages.

Athy Men’s Shed was established in Oct 2011. We welcome visitors and guests to come along and say hello over a cuppa and a chat. No two sheds are the same but the objectives are similar in that they create a space for men to come and learn or share a skill, have a chat or just have a cup of tea. Over the years and with the help of members, donors and sponsors; we have added a kitchen, a tooling ar

ea and a workshop, we’ve also added and a pool and darts room. Athy is a unique town, it has some challenges but it also has lots of opportunities and community activity. It has a wealth of cultural talent and skilled people among its residents and it has people who are looking to get involved in the community. Men’s Sheds provide that opportunity to become part of a group, to be valued and to contribute to your area.

Ode to the PRO

I sit here waiting just for you,
To come through the door as you always do.
Because I know always with you,
You,ll bring a smile and more taboo.
To hear you moan about your kitchen,
And we just laugh while your a bitchin.
We get stuck in and clean it up,
Then you make tea/coffee for all of us.
Your chair is right beside the door,
So you can greet and then to pour.
Hello to you we hear you say,
I'm Mick Dunne the PRO today.
I'm sitting here and feeling sick,
I wish to God you were here Mick.

Liam, Ray also Big Mick, Pat Vaughan and Doyle Joe Kingston too not forgetting dear old Eddie, will look after you Sleep well our friends and God Bless You.

Mick Dunne Gentleman Scholar and beautiful young man. RIP Mick.

Today is a very sad day for our shed members. We have lost another major part of our shed family. PRO and First Responder Mick Dunne has been taken from us. Mick came to us through a personal friend looking out for him, Cliff Ried. Mick was a very quiet young man, it was my greatest pleasure to know this gentleman. It didn't take Mick long to settle in. It got to the stage we could not shut him up.
He gave as good as he got slagging and always took it on the chin. His favourite past time was to speak Jackeen. I could have bitch slapped the bejasus out of him.
You walked through the shed door the kettle would go on and coffee or tea would be made, this was his pride and joy. Sausage Saturday you could lose a limb when he was cooking, he hated anyone in his kitchen.
I'm sure I say it for all the lads in the shed you will be sadly missed by one and all Patricia won't be able to tear you a new one, Judith will miss you in O,Briens.
Athy has lost a great Character and wannabe Dub. I will have to learn to make me own coffee. I will miss you little brother as will Friday Night Darts Paddy Imed and Liam.
God bless my Friend RIP.
