"Men's Health in Ireland" Report

The Men's Health Forum in Ireland launched their seminal report "Men's Health in Ireland" on Thursday 15th January 2004 in Buswell's Hotel, Molesworth Street, Dublin. This launch was attended by 90 people ranging from health service providers to political parties; academic researchers to men's work activists.

This report provides the most comprehensive overview of key statistics on men's health on the island of Ireland that has ever been collated. It also makes a number of recommendations for improving the health of local men.

Launching the report, Mr Ivor Callely TD, Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children in the Republic of Ireland, said: "Men's health is an area that needs development urgently and this report highlights many areas where ongoing and collaborative working is vital."
