	Sport stars, poets and broadcasters are among those who will be talking about the importance of men looking after their emotional and mental health, as part of International Men&#39;s Day today.</p>
<p>
	Pieta House, a suicide and crisis self-harm centre, is hosting an event in Dublin later, where men will talk about how they have come through difficult times in their lives.</p>
<p>
	Rugby player Jack McGrath and Dublin footballer Paul Flynn will be speaking at tonight&#39;s free-of-charge event.</p>
<p>
	In Ireland, 80% of people who die by suicide are men.</p>
<p>
	CEO of Pieta House Brian Higgins, has said as a society, we need to be more open to men talking about their mental health: &ldquo;I suppose we have a question around do we actually look after our own emotional wellbeing, do we look after our mental wellbeing, do we look after the stability factors that we need around us.</p>
<p>
	&ldquo;And for us, that is why we are looking at International Men&rsquo;s Day from that perspective of saying let&rsquo;s look at what it means or what people think it means to be a man and explore it and see is that really what being a fully stable man is all about.&rdquo;</p>
