Professor William Binchy:

I think Deputy Costello made two points. I disagree with him in saying that when a person takes their own life, the only concern of family, neighbours, friends, school children and employees is that the person is dead. My experience is completely to the contrary in that regard. I am absolutely certain that a person taking their own life has a huge impact. There are a lot of records to show that. I respectfully disagree with him on that. It is a tragedy-----
