Bressie has been speaking about his mental health struggles.

The Voice of Ireland coach has asked politicians to do more to help young people who are finding it hard to cope.

He told TDs and Senators that he believes depression and suicide are massive issues that aren't being dealt with properly.

Bressie says access to mental health services for young people is a major issue.

The musician has been very open about his own struggle with depression and this morning addressed the Joint Committee on Health and Children to discuss mental health.

The 35 year old regularly works to raise awareness among young people about the issue.

Last year the European Child Safety Alliance report found that despite the high suicide rate here, Ireland does not have a national strategy to tackle the issue.
