Tara made a recent appearance on RTE1’s Nationwide to discuss her role as Chairperson of the Newbridge Womens Shed and talking about their ambitions, their trip to the Dail with Senator Fiona O’ Loughlin FF and telling us how she has seen a positive change in many of the women, since they joined the Womens Shed.
