A local petition, which came about following the death of a Galway man by suicide, has gathered over 10,000 signatures
The body of 34 year old Adam Loughnane was recovered from the Corrib on February 11th, following a highly-visible operation by Emergency Services.
Earlier that day, Adam had presented himself at UHG in distress and experiencing suicidal ideation, but left the hospital after a time.
A review has since been launched, and his family have launched an online petition - 'Adam's Protocols - Someone presenting as suicidal shouldn't have to go through A&E'
