Kevin 'Boxer' Moran attended the launch this afternoon.
A Government Minister has spoken publicly about his attempt to take his own life, during the launch of the Government’s new suicide prevention strategy.
Longford-Westmeath TD Kevin 'Boxer' Moran says struggles with illiteracy and depression led him to attempt to take his own life as a young man.
The new national strategy aimed at reducing suicide and self-harm was launched this afternoon.
Minister Moran says he went through a very dark period before entering politics:
