evidence: This claim is accurate. For 2017, Northern Ireland had the highest rate in the UK (and Ireland) of registered deaths by suicide for men (29.1 per 100,000 men) (and women (8.5 per 100,000 women)). Also, the number of total suicides by year of actual occurrence in Northern Ireland for 2013 (306) is more than double that for 1995 (148). On 19 December 2018, The Belfast Telegraph reported that "more men die by suicide in Northern Ireland than anywhere else in the UK". [...] The suicide rate for men, as well as for women, is higher in Northern Ireland than anywhere else in the UK or Ireland..
