Suicides up since end of Troubles
The number of people committing suicide in Northern Ireland has risen since the end of the Troubles, according to new research.
The study, carried out by the University of Ulster and the Department of Psychiatry at the Mater Hospital Trust, shows that the Troubles may have actually kept suicide levels down for more than 30 years.
The researchers believe that the civil unrest may have strengthen social bonds within communities and "buffered" individuals from thoughts of taking their own lives.
From 1966 to 1999 more than 7,000 people died - almost evenly divided between those who took their own lives and those who were murdered in terrorist-related incidents.
When terrorism increased, suicide fell and vice versa.
The lowest year for suicide deaths was 1972, when 47 people took their own lives. This coincided with the highest homicide toll, when 497 people were killed.
