## Resource

A powerful new coalition is demanding a complete ban on sunbeds in Ireland, citing overwhelming evidence linking them to melanoma and other cancers—with risk jumping 75% for users under 35. Led by major health groups like the Irish Cancer Society, they’re pushing for a clear timeline to remove these devices entirely, even from homes. Personal stories like Gill Costelloe’s—now battling stage four melanoma after youth tanning—highlight the human toll. While industry voices warn a ban could push tanning underground, public health advocates argue it’s the only way to prevent future suffering and ease pressure on Ireland’s healthcare system, where skin cancer is the most common cancer.
