The 25-year-old’s family have received an apology from the HSE for deficits in her care prior to her final hospitalisation in December 2016.
The mother of a woman who died by suicide nine years ago says it is important that her death is not in vain.
Maxine Maguire, from Newbridge, died by suicide in February 2017.
According to the Irish Examiner, the 25-year-old’s family have received an apology from the HSE for deficits in her care prior to her final hospitalisation in December 2016.
Her mother, Kathleen, said the last nine years since her daughter’s death have been difficult.
Referencing the case in the Seanad recently, Maxine’s primary school teacher, Senator Fiona O’Loughlin, described her as “a lovely, bubbly, gorgeous girl who was much loved by family and friends. Maxine was a much-loved daughter, sister, granddaughter and friend.”
She also said that she had been suffering with her mental health for "some time".
Senator O' Loughlin added how she was "turned away by the hospital she had considered a safe place", after she had "plucked up every ounce of courage within her to get that far".
