Along the east side of the Tara Road, the Tree of Hope was planted in February 2026 as a symbol of hope for all of those affected by suicide or living with mental health issues. The tree is a Copper Beech (Fagus sylvatica ‘Purpurea’) with a deep purple foliage.
If you or somebody close to you is affected by any mental health issues, please contact your GP or enquire about available resources through the HSE on their freephone number 1800 111 888.
