Samaritans are reminding those in need that their helpline will be open during their darkest hours if they are lonely or struggling to cope this Christmas.
Volunteers on the 24-hour-helpline answered almost 40,000 calls in Ireland in December last year, with more than 50 volunteers answering over 1,150 calls and written contacts on Christmas Day alone.
Landmarks across Kilkenny and Carlow are also lighting up in green to mark the Longest Night, to show people Samaritans are here for them during the long dark nights.
Kilkenny Castle ,City Hall ,Watergate Theatre ,Lady Anne in Creamery House Castlecomer, are among those turning green on Monday, December 21st - the winter solstice – to support Samaritan’s Christmas campaign.

Sir: I too was left astonished by inaccuracies in the second episode of The Crown.
I refer, of course, to the scene in which Princess Margaret was being savaged by a great white shark while holidaying in Mustique.
As her body was being swallowed up, she could clearly be seen to be wearing the Poltimore Tiara.
This is utterly absurd. The Princess kept the Poltimore Tiara which she purchased at auction for £5,500 in 1959 under lock and key at Kensington Palace. She would never have dreamt of taking it to her holiday residence, still less on a swimming expedition.
