€660,000 in recurring annual funding has been announced for new mental health crisis services in Louth.
The funding will provide four crisis nurses at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda, offering specialist support during key out-of-hours periods.
A further €300,000 will fund a new Solace Café for Louth, providing a free, safe and non-clinical space for adults experiencing mental health distress or crisis, particularly during evenings and weekends.
The investment is being welcomed by Senator Alison Comyn, who says people experiencing a mental health crisis need somewhere to turn outside of the traditional nine-to-five.
Senator Alison Comyn joined us on The Agenda this morning to tell us more.
