Catherine Murphy
Question:376. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the perilous funding situation of an organisation (details supplied) which conducts vital suicide prevention work in the community; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that funding to tackle suicide has never been of more critical need, considering that the number of suicides reached its highest ever number in 2011 and that Ireland has the fourth highest rate of suicide for men aged 15 to 24 years in Europe; if he will commit to ensuring that vital funding of this organisation will be maintained in the event that the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government is unable to continue support through the Pobal scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
