“I’m delighted to be joining Limerick Suicide Watch as ambassador. They are an incredible group of people who do amazing work which I have witnessed first hand after I went on patrol with them recently.
“They are all volunteers who dedicate time at night until the early hours to keep Limerick safe and to save lives. They are compassionate, caring and a great group of people who all want to do one thing, save lives.
“Now more than ever, the work of LSW is needed as suicide rates are high and so many people are suffering but these people provide hope and light to those who need it most and I look forward to being part of the team,” she said.
