Irelands Morbid Obsession with death

unclejunior · 2012-05-22 16:56:07

Is it just me or is the news in this country obsessed with reporting about road deaths and fatalities of some sort? This morning took the biscuit, three separate deaths anounced in succession, a great way to start your day with a daily dose of death and misery!

For all the announcements of deaths in the news, whether it be murder or accident related, it pisses me off that they mostly pave over and ignore the very serious matter of suicide in Ireland. I believe it should be reported in the same manner as road deaths to raise awareness of the issue and let people know that there is options and help out there.
