Munster’s O’Driscoll urges young men to discuss their problems

Munster rugby player Mick O’Driscoll has urged young men to talk about their problems rather than keeping things bottled up inside.

He urged people not to view suicide as a way out.

Mr O’Driscoll, who is a director of the voluntary organisation Suicide Aware, described suicide as a “massive problem” in Ireland with 527 recorded suicides in 2009 and 486 recorded suicides in 2010, but many believe the figures to be much higher.
