Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I also support the call for a debate on suicide. Only a few homes have escaped its long shadow. Many, if not all, of the health boards have helplines which should be utilised. General practitioners have a pivotal role to play. Those who "feel down", to use a phrase, should not be afraid to consult the appropriate qualified people. It is no sin to be depressed but some like to conceal it. Many of the problems in this area emanate from this.
