‘I’ve buried five friends since January’
Seamus Sherlock, from Feoghanagh, Co Limerick, started the Life after Debt group after five people he knew took their own lives. The 45-year-old firmly believes stress over financial worries played a major part in the deaths of his friends.
“There are too many people taking their own lives and it has to stop. I’m getting up to 30 phonecalls a day from people who are worried about their future. They’re not all suicidal, but some are. I’m not a professional but a lot of these people just want someone to listen to them. A lot of people are lost.”
