Wednesday September 19th has been designated as Mouth Cancer Awareness Day here in Ireland.
Members of the public are encouraged to visit their local participating dentist or Cork University Dental School and Hospital for a FREE mouth cancer examination.
Over 300 cases of cancer of the mouth (oral cavity and pharynx) are detected in Ireland each year. If detected early these cancers are easily treated. A mouth cancer exam is painless and quick, takes only minutes and could save your life.

The last few years have seen particularly cold and harsh Winters here in Ireland. The Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme has helped many elderly and vulnerable people to make their homes more comfortable, healthier and more cost effective to run.
If you think you or someone you know could benefit from this scheme please see the information below on how to apply. Many of our elderly and vulnerable neighbours and friends may not have access to online media such as this page so please ensure you pass on this information to them, or ask them to contact us at any of the WUAG Offices if they need further help or assistance. Contact details of WUAG Clinics are listed below or you can call Deputy Healy’s constituency office, Monday to Friday 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm on 052 6121883.
What is the Better Energy Warmer Homes Scheme?
Better Energy Warmer Homes (BEWH), administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), funds energy efficiency improvements in the homes of the elderly and vulnerable, making their homes more comfortable, healthier and more cost effective to run.
What services are available?
The service involves the installation of standard energy efficiency measures appropriate to the eligible household subject to SEAI survey, budget allocation and available capacity. The service is provided at no cost to the household and the measures currently available under this scheme are:
Attic insulation;
Draught proofing;
Lagging jackets;
Low energy light bulbs;
Cavity wall insulation;
Energy advice.
Who can avail of the Scheme?
This scheme is available to homes which meet the following criteria:

Landlords can avail of grants from Better Energy Homes if they have tenants in, or at risk of, energy poverty. See http://www.seai.ie/grants/better_energy_homes/ for more information.
How are the services provided?
BEWH services are provided by a panel of SEAI appointed non-profit community based organisations (CBOs) and a panel of SEAI appointed private contractors. CBO or Contractor installers are assigned to a household depending on their geographic location. CBOs and contractors deliver the BEWH to the highest quality assurance standards. Inspections are carried out on a sample of homes completed to ensure the standards are maintained.
