As you have been hearing on Clare FM News, County Clare recorded the fifth highest number of suicides in the country last year. New data published by the Central Statistics Office shows a total of 19 suicides were recorded in Clare in 2024. Only Cork County, Dublin City, Wexford and South Dublin recorded more than Clare. Of these 19, 18 were male, giving Clare the fourth-highest rate of male suicide in the country after Wexford, Cork County and Dublin City. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Director of Clare Samaritans and Newmarket-on-Fergus native, Pat White and Retired Doctor from Miltown Malbay, Dr Billy O’Connell. Photo(C): Canva
