Husband of suicide victim hits out at suicide prevention campaign 

A grieving man whose wife walked in front of a train the day after doctors turned her away from a psychiatric unit yesterday hit out at the Government’s anti-suicide campaign.

Joseph Henry, a retired man from Carraroe, Sligo, said: “The Government is spending millions on television adverts on suicide awareness. Night after night, we are advised about it and how we can help.

“Yet the professionals are ignoring the same advice.”
