RT @IrishCancerSoc: Director of Advocacy Rachel Morrogh on health inequalities: "Unless we really focus on the people who are most vulnerable and most at risk from cancer, we’re not going to make the big improvements that we really want to see. That has to be a whole of Government approach."

RT @EmmandJDeSouza: "Ireland is not a romantic dream; it’s a country divided into two powerful traditions. The solution will be found not on victory for either, but on the basis of agreement. The real division is not a line drawn on the map, but in the minds and hearts of its people." - John Hume
