Description

“Someone presenting as suicidal shouldn't have to go through A&E”   

That’s the call in a petition set to be discussed by an Oireachtas committee later today. The petition comes from John Loughnane, whose brother Adam died by suicide exactly a year ago. Joe spoke to Anton this morning about Adam.
