The event took place in over 150 venues on 4 continents, and this morning in Phoenix Park – more than 10,000 people turned out in support of Pieta House.

The 5km walk promotes suicide prevention, and hopes to tackle the stigma that leads people to the Pieta House centres.

The symbolic event was supported by Electric Ireland, and got underway at 4.15am on Saturday morning.

Brisbane, Hong Kong, Quebec and Reykjavik were among the international venues hosting the dawn walk this year, and at home, over 30 venues came on board to host the event for the first time.
