The Irish Cancer Society (ICS) has recovered from the one-day deluge that cost it more than €500,000 in 2013 to return to profit last year.

Daffodil Day is taking place around the country today to raise money for people with cancer.

Dazzling daffodils held their pretty heads high in all sorts of new places for Ireland’s longest-running fundraising day. Being the month of many weathers, and after being washed out last year, the Irish Cancer Society was taking no chances.

Plans for this year’s Daffodil Day have been waterproofed, with many indoor activities organised in addition to the usual outdoor collections.
