North Clare Man Who Lost Brother To Suicide Pleads With People To Talk If They Need Help

A North Clare native is pleading with people to talk if they’re in need of help following the loss of his brother to suicide earlier this year.

Liscannor man John McDonagh’s brother passed away in early April, while he lost his father-in-law to suicide back in 1995.

John will lead a Cycle Against Suicide throughout the North of the county tomorrow morning, to raise funds for the local branch of the Samaritans.

He says the outpour of generosity over his family’s loss has been overwhelming, and is encouraging people to come forward if they need help.

If you’ve been affected by the subject, you can make contact with Pieta House on 1800 247 247 or Samaritans on 116 123.
