Free sunscreen to be provided at 12 Dublin city parks

Dublin City Council has launched a pilot program providing free sunscreen at 12 public parks across the city to promote sun safety and reduce skin cancer risks. The initiative was inspired by the Irish Cancer Society, which highlighted that nearly 90% of skin cancer cases in Ireland are linked to UV exposure. The free sunscreen dispensers will be available in parks located on both the north and south sides of the city. Local officials, including Lord Mayor Daryl Barron, emphasized the importance of sun protection, noting that many Irish people have fair skin that burns easily. Kevin O'Hagan from the Irish Cancer Society praised the move, calling it a significant step toward making sun protection more accessible and encouraging broader adoption by other local authorities.
