Sir, – I wish to loudly endorse the many excellent points made by Prof Pat McGorry (Opinion, December 17th). Yes, the time is now to take better care of our young people’s mental health and yes we know how to do it.
Make sure we have a Jigsaw service in every major centre in Ireland and ensure that these services have direct and easy accessible links to the mental health professionals in their area.
If these two, relatively simple steps are put in place we will go along way to putting a stop to such tragedies as we have been sad witnesses to in Donegal. – Yours, etc,
