The Armagh Sinn Féin Republican Youth committee are the latest
area to take part in the ’Mind your Mate’ training program.
Ógra Shinn Féin, now Sinn Féin Republican Youth, have been
extremely proactive on the issue of suicide prevention over the past number of years,
organising public meetings, vigils, leaflet drops, meeting with ministers
responsible for funding and also attempting to empower people to work on
suicide prevention by hosting ASIST and similar programme's in different venues across
Ireland
Speaking on the issue, Sinn Féin activists Blaine McCartney
said;
“It is important to remember 527 people in took their own
lives in Ireland last year. The Mind your Mate training programme is aimed at
young people aged between 16 and 24. It gives young people the skills to look
out for each other and to look after their own mental health. It’s important
that we always remember the hundreds of people affected by this every day. It’s
time to raise awareness and loose the stigma attached to depression and other
mental illnesses!
Sinn Féin Republican Youth in Armagh and throughout Ireland will
continue to play our part in addressing this issue, as suicide does not simply
affect a certain portion of our society. It is not a problem for a particularly
demographic, but a problem for all.”

Provisional Sinn Fein have spoken of the need for a new republic and whilst I agree, exterminating our future generation of citizens is something I do not support.
Shame on SF politicians for voting for the bill Clare Daly put forward.
Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin and Pearse Doherty didn't vote for this bill.
I will certainly be confronting PSF when they come to my door seeking a vote.
SF have shown themselves to be a pro-abortion and anti family party.
You do not represent the sovereign people of Ireland. You are Marxist enemies of the Irish people.
Abortion is a topic of individual choice. If you look at the motions from the latest are fheis u will see that the abortion one failed! So your statement is irrelevant
Marxist enemies? What? Dear lord!
Abortion is far from being an individual choice. SF are a pro-abortion party and ideologically anti-family. Look at the SF politicians who voted for the bill put forward by Clare Daly.
Real Irish Nationalists don't support abortion and will defend the family.
You Marxist scum are not Irish Nationalists.
"Marxist enemies? What? Dear lord!"
Ideologically, they are no friends of the innocent in the womb.
