Console holds ceremony to remember those lost to suicide

The national suicide prevention and bereavement charity Console will today hold a Christmas Celebration of Light ceremony, in remembrance of those who have lost their lives.

Around 1,000 family members and friends of people lost through suicide will attend the ceremony in St Patrick's College in Maynooth which will include the lighting of candles and a minute's silence.

At least 500 people lost their lives to suicide here last year.
