Thanks to ...
Lackagh Men's Shed wish to thank Galway Co Co for their funding under the Community Enhancement Programme Men's Shed Fund towards the purchase of tools. The grant will enable the Shed members to greatly expand their range of projects.
The Shed Committee are also most grateful to Galway Rural Development who have supported them finacially in 2018 and 2019 through the SICAP. Without such assistance it would be extremely difficult to remain viable given the high costs of Insurance, etc.
Thanks also to Flynns of Lackagh for their generous sponsorship of Shed materials.
New members are welcome, call 086-4506727 for more information.

The Shed has just been approved funding from Galway Rural Development to upgrade their facilities.. Work will commence shortly and they would welcome new members to help out. Last year, thanks to a GRETB funded metalwork and woodwork restoration skills training course,a number of horsedrawn farm machines and implements were restored to their former glory over the winter months.
The shed members also repaired a large number of hurleys for Turloughmore juvenile Hurling Club.

Lackagh Museum and Men's Shed members visit Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa
Members of Lackagh Museum and Men's Shed had a most enjoyable tour of Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa (Renmore Barracks) Museum on 1st February, 2018. The museum is open by appointment to groups who wish to come and learn about the history of the Barracks which goes back to the Connaught Rangers in 1881.
When the Connaught Rangers was disbanded in 1922 the barracks were taken over by the Irish Army and subsequently renamed Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa after Liam Mellows in 1952. The barracks are now the base for the 1st Infantry Battalion of the Irish Army.
The displays feature numerous information panels and a wonderful array of military artefacts including uniforms, guns, the personal effects of soldiers and Dún Uí Mhaoilíosa's contribution to Ireland's proud UN Peacekeeping record.
Our visit was made all the more enjoyable by our tour guide, Sgt PJ Maloney, with his in-depth knowledge of military history. Sgt. Maloney has also served on a number of UN peacekeeping missions overseas,
For anyone with an interest in local history, this is a hidden gem!
