Adam's Protocol Petition nears 20 thousand signatures

A local petition demanding reform to mental health services at Emergency Departments is nearing 20 thousand signatures.

The petition was started by the family of city-man Adam Loughnane, who died by suicide in April.

Adam had presented at the ED at UHG in distress and expressing suicidal ideation, but later left without being seen.

A short time later his body was recovered from the River Corrib.
