My Department has provided funding to the Irish Cancer Society (ICS) on two occasions between 2010 and 2015.
In 2014, my Department provided funding of €8,000 to the ICS for an advertising campaign around the launch of the Public Health (Sunbeds) Act 2014.
A further €7,934.73 was provided to the ICS in 2015, as a contribution towards their Sunbed Social Media Campaign, which coincided with the launch of Phase 2 of the Public Health (Sunbeds) Act 2014.
Separately, the HSE National Cancer Control Programme provides funding to the ICS towards the cost of running the Travel to Care scheme.
