A Landmark Day for Cancer Survivors in Ireland – All-Island Cancer Summit

All-Island Cancer Summit shared a post on LinkedIn.

“A landmark day for cancer survivors in Ireland.

Congratulations to Prof. Mark Lawler and Minister of State Robert Troy TD on the passage of the Right to Be Forgotten legislation, a transformative step that will help ensure cancer survivors are no longer subject to financial discrimination when applying for mortgage protection insurance after a defined remission period.

This achievement reflects years of evidence-based advocacy, research, and collaboration. Prof. Lawler’s tireless work in highlighting the challenges faced by cancer survivors, combined with Minister Troy’s commitment to driving meaningful legislative change, has delivered a significant victory for patients and their families across Ireland.

A powerful example of how research, policy, patient advocacy, and political leadership can come together to make a real difference in people’s lives.

Well deserved congratulations to all involved in making this happen.”
