Snaps from Pieta House’s ‘controversial‘ inaugural International Men’s Day event, With Men In Mind, in the Powerscourt Theatre, Dublin last night.
An evening of discussion and ‘manter’ on what it “means to be a man in Ireland today”.
Guests also included John Evoy, Founder of Men’s Sheds Ireland and Pieta House therapist, John Searson.
Just dudes happy to open up with other dudes about dude stuff.

The BS regular Starina comes across really terribly in the original post. Bloody hell.
I think the muppets replying to her with “No girls allowed in this comment thread!!!” come across worse, in fairness
for what, questioning whether the organisers were going to help men or not? jeez.
Pieta House, famous for organising bro-fest nights involving discussions revolving around beer, boobs-and-football banter.
it wasnt pieta house that made me wonder, it was brendan oconnor and the word “manter”.
I like this idea. Go MEN!
Didn’t you read the other thread? This sort of thing has been deemed sexist.
Fair play an’ all, anyone here make it along….
cant stand Brendan O’Connor, he has about as much personality as a cloud of steam
Manter. Punk Bunk.
I’m going home to kill myself.
Wow, this event has it’s first casualty already.
I like Michael Harding, he’s charming and fun. He said something in his column this week about learning to live with his lonliness that everyone will relate to at some point or another. He’s the best thing about The Irish Times at the moment.
Brendan O’Connor looks like a Borg in the first photo.
