Update: 2025-11-03
Description
We spotted a comment left on Facebook recently, which caught our eye. The post was in relation to what, in the poster’s view, was the high cancer rates in Ennistymon.
The most recent figures from the CSO for 2021 revealed that the Ennistymon region had the highest rate of neoplasm-related deaths of any area in the country.
Neoplasms are abnormal masses of tissue that can be cancerous, accounted for more deaths than any other factor countywide in that year, with the exception of Kilrush.
To explore this further, Alan Morrissey was joined live on the line by Dr Michael Kelleher.
