Under-18s banned from sunbeds as operators face €4k fines

People under the age of 18 will be banned from using sunbeds from Monday under measures announced by Health Minister Leo Varadkar

The new health minister said that the step was being taken to reduce the risk of young people getting skin cancer.

He said that fines of €4,000 and jail sentences would be in place for sunbed operators who broke the new rules.
