NUI Galway said they were working on a rapid response action plan to further address the mental health needs of their students.

The number of NUI Galway students who have worrying levels of depression is higher than ever before, according to the results of a survey of almost 4,000 students.

In 2017, 16% of first-year students reported having a severe or very severe level of depression.
