"Carrigtwohill and Newmarket, like a lot of small towns in Ireland, really only had one place for men to enjoy a bit of company - the pub. We found there was a lot of community activity for women, such as coffee mornings and social groups, and, while men are welcome to these, most don't feel comfortable in such a setting. We wanted to offer the men something else, something more constructive because, after all, men are happiest when they're tinkering with an old engine or seeing a broken piece of furniture come back to life."
John O'Sullivan, Clúid's Housing Officer in Cork.
