Mental Health and Suicide Prevention: Statements
Seanad Éireann — 2025-05-15
============================================================

Garret Ahearn (CC), Administrative Panel

Before I ask the Minister of State to respond, I welcome St. Canice's Girls National School from Finglas today. You are very welcome to the Chamber. You are here for a timely debate. We are talking about mental health and what we as a Government and Members of the Seanad can do to support mental health. The Minister of State with responsibility for mental health will respond to the debate. What we can do to help your well-being is to tell your teachers that you have no homework tonight or tomorrow night, whichever suits. I hope you have a lovely day.
