Over 100 men attended a Men's Health event at Slieve Gullion Courtyard on 9 June. The event was organised by Slieve Gullion DEA and the Health Improvement Team, in partnership with Clanrye Group as part of Men’s Health Week which runs from 9–15 June.

Men’s Health Week helps shine a spotlight on health concerns impacting men and encourages them to be proactive about their own health by taking charge of their well-being and helps them seek any appropriate medical support available.
