The Limerick Treaty Suicide Prevention team patrols the River Shannon at night to prevent suicide or accidental death but it is without a base. It has no building or location for operations and it is currently working out of a van. If somebody is suicidal, he or she clearly needs privacy and support when waiting for an ambulance. Such people need to be away from cameras and video devices.

The chair of the group, Mr. Matthew Collins, and Aontú Limerick representative, Ms Sarah Beasley, are working hard to try to get a property. There are countless council-owned vacant properties in Limerick so would it not be possible to get one of those buildings or a State building in use for that purpose as soon as possible? Organisations such as the Claddagh Watch Patrol; Save Our Sons and Daughters, SOSAD; and Meath River Rescue are examples of organisations all around the country doing their best to prevent suicide at the coalface. They need more support from the Government to help them do that.

The Government has provided a range of supports to local authorities. I commend the work done by the Limerick Treaty Suicide Prevention team. I do not know from the Deputy's comments whether it has been in touch with the council in Limerick.

It has.

The council would be best placed to identify premises that may be available and could be adapted for use by the team there. That is what normally happens across the country.
