Mr. Sean Slattery:

In terms of supports, the network is in place and there are people available to them to talk to but they are not qualified psychiatrists, etc. A positive development following on from this meeting would be the putting in place of professional help. We encourage members to talk, but that is not the same as having a professional or specialist for them to engage with. That is something we need to look at ourselves, but if the State could help in any way in terms of the putting in place of people who know what they are talking about when it comes to that type of trauma, that would be a help. We do not have a specific set routine for when that happens. It is generally comradery.
