I am informed by the Garda Authorities that in the existing Student/Probationer programme, suicide related issues are dealt with under the 'Social and Psychological' study area on Phases I and III. The training includes responding in a sensitive and appropriate manner to the families and loved ones of those who have committed suicide.
