About Limerick Suicide Watch
We are a Limerick based suicide watch group who patrol between the four bridges in the Limerick city area. Our main focus is to keep eyes on the river, and identify and provide support to those in distress and maybe contemplating suicide.
Our Patrols at present run on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9pm to 1am and Saturdays from 12am to 4am. With more volunteers onboard we hope to extend the services to every night of the week.
