What a poignant picture. Bravo to Mick and Patricia for everything they have done to raise awareness around bowel cancer. There is hope, but early diagnosis is the best way to ensure that more of us live longer #checkyourpoo #bowelscreening #bowelcancerawarenessmonth

Sarah Fitzgibbon There was a real gem on TripAdvisor years ago by Americans who drove The Priest's Leap, in the mist. Advised by Google Maps that it was the most direct route from Kenmare to Cork airport 😱

For decades women undergoing radiotherapy for cervical, colorectal & vaginal cancer in 🇮🇪 were given plastic dilators. They are not inviting to use and can add/lead to a sexual dysfunction. This upset me, I acted. As of 2024 thanks to Donal Brennan NCCP silicone dilators for all

Sick of ads for 'tummy control' clothing. Tummies should be uncontrolled, rampaging through small villages, using their untamed girth to terrorise local Slimming World leaders
