This is a good article I found about some facts and figures relating to suicide in Ireland.
The most alarming statistic out of that is “Cork has the highest level of suicide amongst Ireland’s main cities with a rate of 18 deaths per 100,000 people. This places it well above the national average of 12 deaths per 100,000 people”. That article was written on April 13, this year but it does not clarify what year the data is from.
There is also a video link in the clip to the video that the Mental Health socieity were trying to get students involved in. Our Mental Health they are called and are based in UCC.
We also needed information for the self harm data. NRSF has an excellent report on the current figures for the past few years. To keep the figures low and to keep in in the same geographical location we we thinking of using data for the south of Ireland, in 2013. These would be the latest figures available. These are two possible data sets that could be used.
