Kinsale has been identified by the HSE as a location that needs anti-suicide measures with one already in place at ‘The Old Head’ in the hope it will deter people from taking their lives there.

A meeting of the Bandon/Kinsale Municipal District Council was informed that some months ago Cork County Council was asked to engage with the HSE in a programme called “Connecting For Life”.
