Article Abstract:
The collapse of the traditional family and support system of church and family has led to a large increase in the number of men committing suicide in Ireland. About 355 men killed themselves in Ireland during 1997, with those aged between 15 years old and 24 years old being the most at risk. The Roman Catholic church considers suicide to be a sin, although a greater understanding of the emotional state of mind before suicide has reduced the stigma attached to those who take their own lifes.

Article Abstract:
Private sector nurses in the UK do not generally earn more money than nurses in the National Health Service (NHS). According to both Sandra Hilmer of BUPA and David Cole, director of Grovelands, a hospital belonging to Prior Healthcare, which provides psychiatric care, nurses' salaries are based on NHS scales. Nurse working in the private sector often find themselves persuaded to work longer hours than they ought and do not have the advantage of the NHS nurses' pension fund.
