Carrick-on-Suir Men's Shed donates owl boxes to Tidy Towns group
The barn owl nesting boxes have been donated to Ahenny Clashnasmuth Faugeen Tidy Towns Group
Two barn owl nesting boxes constructed by Carrick-on-Suir Men's Shed members Damian McNamara and Pat Callanan have been donated to Ahenny Clashnasmuth Faugheen Tidy Towns Group.
The owl boxes were presented to Ahenny Clashnasmuth Faugheen TT group representative Edmond Coady on May 20.
They will now be placed on trees in woodland and near suitable food sources in the villages of Faugheen and Ahenny and will be closely monitored.
Damian’s father, Martin McNamara was caretaker at Carrick-on-Suir's original Technical School at the corner of Dillon Bridge from 1971, and then at the former Comeragh College, Greenside until his retirement.
Both Damian and Edmond are past pupils of Comeragh College and Pat Callanan is a former principal of the school.
Carrick-on-Suir Men's Shed is located behind the former Comeragh College on Greenside and the Men’s Shed group meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10am-1pm.
Men of all ages are very welcome to join by just calling into the group's sessions. They can enjoy a chat and refreshments, play a game of pool or learn and share skills in the fully equipped shed.
The group's members also meet up with other Men’s Sheds groups and have occasional social outings.
