The Government is being called on to improve mental health supports in Cavan and Monaghan.
Fianna Fáil TD Niamh Smyth said the local region is in need of an organisation like Jigsaw, the national centre for youth mental health.
She told the Dáil there's been an increase in suicide in the county in recent months, particularly within younger people.
