Thousands to protest in Dublin today at poor state of cancer care

THOUSANDS of people will take to the streets of Dublin today in protest over the state of cancer care.

The Cancer Care Alliance, made up of families and interest groups, says people are dying needlessly due to unacceptable radiotherapy and oncology services.

One of the organisers of the march, independent TD Jerry Coley, said the march would be a landmark in the campaign to improve cancer services.
