The challenge of suicide prevention is one of the most urgent issues facing Irish society. I welcome the fact that necessary funding and resources are being provided, but more must be done. I compliment the voluntary organisations that are involved in this area. Suicide is a cause of great grief and suffering and everyone wants to know why people are driven to it. If funding for suicide prevention is increased, I believe fewer relatives will be obliged to ask why their loved ones committed suicide. I thank the Minister of State for coming before the House and I wish him well.
