Suicidal man found twice in one night by volunteers

The founder of Claddagh Watch Patrol, a voluntary organisation that aims to prevent accidental deaths and suicides in Galway, has spoken of how a troubled man was released by emergency services last weekend and had to be stopped from entering the water on two occasions.

Arthur Carr told RTÉ radio’s Today with Séan O’Rourke show that one of his group’s volunteers had been approached by a member of the man’s family to say they had found a suicide note.
