During last night’s suicide prevention patrol, volunteers observed a person?climbing over the rails at 11:25 p.m. The individual was in a distressed state and intended to take his life by drowning. Members of our foot patrol team, who are specially trained by the HSE, approached and spoke to the person. Our rescue boat was also observing and ready to act.
