The first All-Ireland Cancer Atlas, compiled by the National Cancer Registry (NCR) and the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry (NICR), has repeatedly placed Ireland’s second city in the danger category for a number of the life-threatening conditions.
In particular, it has noted that people living in the area are — per head of population — more likely to develop bowel cancer than those in any other county either side of the Irish border.
