‹ Questions on Proposed Legislation Suicide prevention legislation
Summary
Mattie McGrath asks when legislation and tailored intervention services for suicide and affected families will be introduced; the Taoiseach says Minister of State McEntee is working on a programme.
There is not one of us in this House who does not come across the tragedy of suicide in our communities on a weekly basis. In light of recent scandals and so on, when will legislation be introduced to deal with the issue of suicide and the delivery of services in that regard, including intervention services specifically tailored to families and victims?
