Mary Butler (Waterford, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Unfortunately, in 2019, there were 421 suicides that we know of in Ireland and, obviously, the figures can vary. What concerned me was that two thirds of those people who took their own lives were not availing of any mental health supports. It is very important that we try to get the message out that the people who really need help can ask for help. While I know the case raised by the Senator was different, it is very important that people know help is out there.
