Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Youth Issues: Discussion with Comhairle na nÓg
10:40 am
Mr. Gerard Maguire:
There are wider topics related to the issue of mental health. The concept of mental illness includes depression and suicide. There are many sub-topics, including exam stress. This is the main reason, but perhaps if we focused on one aspect, we would have to eliminate the others. The problem is so considerable that it will take years to solve. At Comhairle na nÓg level, a different topic will have to be taken every year.
