A CHARITY which provides life-saving patrols along the River Shannon has extended its services – and now operates during some day times.
Members of Limerick Treaty Suicide Prevention (LTSP) identified a need for their riverside patrols during traditional working hours as a result of the pandemic, which has seen many lose their jobs.
So, as well as walking about night-time, between 2pm and 6pm each day, members of the group can be seen patrolling the banks of the Shannon offering support to those who may be in suicidal distress, or just want a chat.
