It occurred earlier this morning.
National news updates on Wednesday 21st April.
It's one idea being explored to aid hospitality in the county.
The Tuohey family took part in research from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, which accuses the coroners system of overly influenced by gardaÃ.
A midlands psychotherapist says it's a very concerning development.
After battling cancer in 1998, he became a founding member of the Westmeath facility.Â
It's set to open almost two weeks after the first midlands centres.
Westmeath County Council initially granted permission for the development last year.
It's due before the Dáil today.
The chain has stores in Athlone, Mullingar, Portlaoise, Tullamore and Edenderry.Â
The figure has gradually fallen each day this week.
The concept is designed to act like neighbourhood watch for mental health.
Offaly had been in the top spot for 28 consecutive days.
Portlaoise had the second highest level in the country.
HSE staff say they're delighted the day has arrived.
