The national organisation, which supports people affected by suicide, is reporting a 300% incrase in calls to it’s Farm and Rural stress helpline, with nearly 1,000 people calling it each month up to September.
The group’s CEO Paul Kelly says this shows there is a need for it’s services in Clare, which could warrant setting up a base in the county.
