Hollywood actor Matt Damon has provided a parting gift to Ireland after he signed an Irish artist's portrait of him to raise funds for a suicide prevention charity. 

Shane Gillen's signed Matt Damon portrait has already raised more than €9,000 ($10,000) for Pieta House - an Irish charity that helps people in suicidal distress or engaging in self-harm.
