Vol. 248 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Sun Exposure Danger.

3.

andMr. G. Lynch asked the Minister for Health if he will take steps to warn the public of the danger, especially in the case of young children, of prolonged exposure to the sun.

Exposure to the sun in moderation is, I am advised, probably of some benefit and certainly does no harm. Like many other things, over-indulgence brings its own troubles but, to be quite frank, I do not see that the vast majority of people in this country need a warning from me that severe sunburn is harmful.
