The innovative student raised €16,000 to fund the app.
“The idea came about a year ago,” he told our brothers over at JOE.ie. “I was travelling home for Easter and the night before flying, I was informed of a lad I went to school with taking his life.
“I’d had a dream the week before of a friend thanking me for an app I’d made that helped them in a time of need, so I got thinking and it all went from there."
“I lost a cousin when I was younger to suicide also so it really motivated me to make a change and reduce the number of suicides in Ireland each year.”
The free-to-download app is now available on the App Store and Google Play.
