Joint Sub-Committee on Mental Health debate -

Business of Sub-Committee

As we have a quorum, we will commence the meeting in public session. Apologies have been received from Deputy Hourigan. We need to agree the draft minutes of the meeting of 17 December 2020, which was our last meeting in public session since the level 5 lockdown. They were circulated earlier on. Can I take it that these are agreed and that there are no matters arising? Agreed.

I note the upcoming Darkness Into Light event, which is taking place this Saturday, 8 May. The event is an opportunity for people to show their support for those who have been impacted by suicide and to help raise awareness of the importance of mental health services. The prevention of suicide and self-harm is an important aspect of the sub-committee's work and we look forward to engaging with a number of groups working in this area over the coming months. Pieta House will probably appear before us next week. Does anyone wish to comment on that before we move on?

Participation in Darkness Into Light will be strange again this year - walking on our own.

I know. They did really well last year.
