Suicide Incidence: Statements.
Senators Dooley and Moylan referred to inter-county statistics. I urge caution in this regard. The Senators are talking about small numbers which can be dangerous. In my area of Limerick there were one or two suicides but they led to several copycat incidents. When one is dealing with small figures and there are three or four such suicides, it can throw out the statistics.
