Thank you to everyone who attended our wreath laying and service to mark World Suicide Prevention Week. WMSAR volunteers carried out a suicide prevention patrol last night for the Junior Cert results. During the night crew members spoke to one person experiencing suicidal thoughts who was subsequently assisted by Gardai. Teams maintain a presence on the Waterford’s quayside this evening.
