Vigils mark Suicide Prevention Day

A SERIES of candelit vigils took place last night around the country to mark World Suicide Prevention Day.

The events were organised by Turning The Tide on Suicide (3Ts) and another will be held in Wexford tomorrow.

“The vigils are aimed at everybody who has lost family members, friends or work colleagues through suicide,” said a spokesperson for the 3Ts. “We ask people to gather, light a candle and say a prayer.”
