All the Helpline / Important numbers I could find for people in Ireland.

I found some on a leaflet some I googled myself. Look, laugh all you want but I wrote this out because one of the people seeing this could be in a bad place. One of you or your relatives might need one of those numbers so I decided to post them here and on facebook.

If you feel you just need to talk to someone I'm here. Beneath, you'll find all sorts of numbers for all sorts of issues.

Personally, one of those saved my life.

Does this relate to complaints against practices by the force? Or legal advice?

u/pointblankmos Nuclear Wasteland Without The Fun Jan 10 '18

That would be a matter for the Garda Ombudsman.

You should probably add the number for the Nintendo Hotline in case anyone is stuck in Zelda.

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '18

Or one for people who think Link is Zelda and I just shattered their reality.

Well most of these were on that leaflet, I only found like five or six myself. All I did was type it out :)

I'm not sure where you live but in newbridge, kildare in a school my friend goes to , a lot of girls took their lives last year. Men too, just not that school.

Maybe, just maybe typing this out and getting others to see it, will save a life.

u/SeamusHeaneysGhost I’m not ashamed of my desires Jan 08 '18

I remember the cluster in newbridge end of 2016, and someone talking about a school, so yeah I know what you're on about. It's the fourth highest killer of people worldwide, they reckon by 2020 it will be a million a year, WTF. If only one person rings a number of here ,it was worth it.

Crime Victims Helpline | Contact Details

Another extensive list of organisations can be found on their website. I'll get all the numbers together, when I can!

A lot of the numbers listed above are not free to call or charge a minimum fee which are usually outside of people's bundles.

http://www.saynoto1890.com is a site that offers alternative numbers for people to call. The site mixes businesses with public services but the list is truly massive and you should be able to find what you need quick
