Anti suicide messages beam out over River Shannon

Eight anti-suicide messages of hope were beamed out over the River Shannon in Limerick tonight as part of a project to try to cut the numbers of people taking their own lives on the river.

The initiative, which is the brainchild of Leaving Certificate student Katie Whelan, went live at 7.30pm on Thomond Bridge, and was launched by local Munster rugby star Keith Earls.
