<h3>Efforts are being held to re-launch Sliabh Luachra Men&rsquo;s Shed in Rathmore which closed in March 2020 at the start of the pandemic.</h3>
At the time around 30 locals attended regularly.
Now the people behind the project want to revitalise this important community service.
They have called an open meeting at Teach Iosagain in Rathmore for next Wednesday (June 1) and existing and new members are welcome to attend.
Michael O&rsquo;Mahony has been appointed acting chairman until a committee is put in place next week.
&ldquo;It was a big help to people in the community &ndash; it was some place to go,&rdquo; he told the Killarney Advertiser.
&ldquo;We were closed down due to lockdown, but we are looking for new members now.&rdquo;
Part of next week&rsquo;s meeting will discuss ways to expand Sliabh Luachra Men&rsquo;s Shed. Up to its closure two years ago, the Men&#8217;s Shed operated out of a building owned by The Social Action Group Rathmore.
There are plans in place to expand this arrangement and move into an even bigger premises, still operated by The Social Action Group Rathmore and within the Teach Iosagain premises if sufficient interest is gathered at the meeting.
