Preventable Death
This timely book explores the appalling death toll of young Irishmen over a twenty-year period.
Campaigning journalist Phil Mac Giolla Bhain travelled the length and breadth of the island of Ireland hearing the stories of heart broken families who have been devastated by suicide.
Phil also spoke to experts in the field who, despite years of research, cannot answer why the suicide rate among our young men is so high.
