Childline gets over thousand Christmas Day calls
Childline recieved almost 1,400 calls and texts from Children around Ireland yesterday.
The Charity, which provides a phone service for Children with any issues, said this was a 38% increase on last year.
Up to 85 volunteers manned the phones yesterday to deal with the volume of calls.
Childline spokesperson Margie Roe said many young people did not have a Happy Christmas due to family problems.
