Candlelight Vigil in Dublin,Galway,Donegal and wexford to mark World Suicide Prevention Day

Approximately 600 people die by suicide annually in Ireland.

It is a tragedy that devastates families and touches every community.

For the last 3 years, the 3Ts has held a Candlelight Vigil in Dublin to mark World Suicide Prevention Day and this year we are pleased to announce that for World Suicide Prevention Day 2007, we will expand this to hold Candlelight Vigils locally in Galway, Donegal, Wexford and Dublin.

Our Suicide Prevention Candlelight Vigils are for all who have lost family, colleagues and friends through suicide to gather, to light a candle and remember lost loved ones. The vigils also serve to highlight the support of the wider community with special guest speakers, music and a minute’s silence.
