14 People Died By Suicide In Kildare Last Year

12 were male and two were female.

14 people died by suicide in Kildare last year.

12 were male and two were female.

In 2022, the figure was 26, with 22 males and 4 females.

27 people died by suicide across the county in 2021.

Between 2017 and 2021, 110 people died by suicide in Kildare.

CSO figures released today show just under seven in ten deaths were of those who were 35 years and over.

*Deaths which relate to external causes of death (accidents, suicides, assaults etc.) can take longer to be registered hence why users should be cautious when looking at more recent years as further deaths may be included in figures.*
