It’s hoped the signs will encourage people to seek help from the Samaritans if they need someone to talk to.
SIGNS WITH THE Samaritan’s contact details are being put up on every rail station platform in the country.
It comes after Irish Rail announced that there have been 29 fatalities on the railways attributed to self harm over the past four years.
