In recent weeks we have seen disturbing advertisements on roadside hoardings and in supermarkets. Cancer cures costing €100 are being offered within 24 hours, with contact numbers supplied. This is very disturbing for people who are terminally ill. These advertisements were the subject of a radio programme yesterday, and people from all over Ireland were telephoning in. I ask the Leader to ask the relevant Minister what regulations exist to curb this malpractice, which raises the hopes of the terminally ill. Urgent action must be taken.
