Farmer Paddy McCarthy died by suicide on May 1st.
Neil is speaking to Thomas whose beloved Dad Paddy died two weeks ago but he gave no warning to his grief-stricken family that he was suffering from depression or planning his death. Thomas wants to warn other people to reach out and talk during the pandemic if they are struggling. They have set up this fund for Pieta House in their dads name.
Pieta House can be contacted on (021) 439 5333
