The support groups are free and confidential.

The Mayor of Castlebar hit out this week at the news that 12 jobs in the Ambulance Control Centre in Castlebar will be lost to a newly designed facility in Ballyshannon, Co Donegal. Independent councillor Michael Kilcoyne told the Mayo Advertiser: “Now you are going to get put through to a control centre in Donegal who will then tell the ambulance drivers where the call is from, communication can break down at the best of times, and they are not going to know the geography of Mayo like a person from here would and incidents could happen. But it just so happens also that the Tánaiste can deliver some new jobs to her own constituency while the people of Mayo will be left to suffer.”
