Call for suicide prevention officer for Tipperary

Figures show that 22 people every year take their own lives in Tipperary…

The role of a prevention officer is usually dealt with by the Health Service Executive, however, following representations at their monthly meeting this week, the management of the local authority has agreed to liase with the HSE and bring the matter to their attention. 

Sinn Fein Councillor David Doran, who raised the issue at this month's meeting of the local authority says it's an emotional issue but it's something that affects everybody.
