Verona Murphy (Wexford, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I note the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, is behind the Tánaiste. Slaney Search and Rescue is a voluntary organisation based in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, that was founded in 1995. It provides water cover for many local events but unfortunately, most of those are body recovery of persons from the water. This is recovery to distraught families who have tragically lost a dearly-loved family member. It receives no funding of any description. It has no premises. Its resources, from the lovely people who give them, are depleted every time because we have no 24-7 mental health services in Wexford. Nearly five years after being elected, no provision has been made for that. This is causing two problems. We have no resourcing of the rescue services for those who take their own lives and we have no 24-7 mental health service to help them from taking their own lives.
