Two-thirds of people who died by suicide in Cork City and county over a 30-month period had shown signs of problem drinking, a study has shown.
The research also shows that more than half of the 190 people who died by suicide in Co Cork between September 2008 and March of last year had experienced some form of relationship difficulty in the year before they died.
The study, to be published by the Cork-based National Suicide Research Foundation in the coming months, also shows that one-third of those who died had worked in construction and that many of those who took their own lives had recently become unemployed.
