Jeremy Irons to unveil memorial to those who lost lives to suicide

Hollywood star Jeremy Irons is making his way to Kerry this weekend where the actor plans to unveil a plaque in memory of those who have lost their lives to suicide.

The memorial, located in the community gardens of Tech Amergin in Waterville, will be officially unveiled at 2pm tomorrow.

The project is an effort to raise awareness about suicide in general, and to highlight the extent of the problem in the south Kerry area, according to author Peter Holthusen, who is spearheading the initiative.
