Ireland is suddenly teeming with “Depression celebrities”.
if they help destigmatise mental health and encourage people to avail of the services provided by organisations such as Pieta, then fair play to them. I don’t see the health service paid for by our taxes rushing to give adequate support.
Praying for sun… nothing worse than paying €20(ish?) to walk around a garden in the bleedin’ rain !
Fair play to that man and his green finger!
