Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

To revert to the original question regarding suicides, may I take it there is no record of the number of serving or former members of the Defence Forces who have committed suicide? If such information is not available, it is difficult to assess what role or part Lariam could have played in this regard. What exactly is the position with regard to the deaths of serving members? Is it a military function to establish the cause of death or that of a civilian coroner? How do the Defence Forces deal with deaths within the service?
