Dan Neville (Limerick West, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need to increase the annual funding made available to the National Suicide Prevention Office from €3.05 million to €10 million for the introduction of the recommendations of the expert group on suicide prevention as outlined in the report, Reach Out, and in view of research, going back as far as 1929, which has repeatedly found that suicide rates increase in times of recession and depression and that there are higher rates of suicide among the unemployed.
