Shaken communities unite for vigil amid spate of suicides

The spotlight will be thrown on Ireland's suicide crisis tomorrow when communities rocked by a spate of suicides unite for a special vigil to remember those who died, and to offer support and advice to those left behind.

Organisers of tomorrow night’s candlelight vigil at The Lough amenity on Cork city’s southside said they hope the event, part of a wider community response, will encourage people to come together support each other and reflect.

The 7pm vigil will feature music and will be attended by representatives of Pieta House, Cork Mental Health Foundation, and the HSE who will be available to provide information on the supports available.
