Should Samaritans Ireland go it alone?

The suspension by Samaritans of their Samaritans Radar Twitter app on the grounds of invasion of peoples’ privacy, is to be welcomed.

The introduction of this app is very disconcerting as the core value of Samaritans is advertised as caller confidentiality.

The Samaritans remain a very important and necessary service in Irish society. As such it is important that its activities are monitored.
