Mr. Bernard Joyce:

In addition to that, the last survey carried out was the all-Ireland health study. When we talk about figures, in some areas it could be higher. It could be up to 12% which is way above the figures thrown out today.

We have always come to the table and been productive in putting key recommendations. Will those recommendations be brought forward, however? If so, how will they be implemented at national level? As Ms Quilligan said, it is about political leadership from the top to address the mental health issues which give rise to suicide.
