The Coroner for Co. Kerry is praising the late teenager Donal Walsh who lost his fight with cancer last month.
Coroner in Kerry East and South Terence Casey says there have been no confirmed suicides in the area since the 10th of February last, when usually there would have been 1 or 2 per month.
Mr. Casey believes it may have something to do with Donal's high profile campaign urging suicidal teens to seek help.
Donal's father Finbarr told Newstalk's Lunchtime presenter, Jonathan Healy, that the family are immensely proud:
