The Irish Cancer Society is calling on members of the public to get behind Daffodil Day today. Over 4,000 volunteers are selling Daffodils right across the country and the charity says it's hoping to raise €3.4 million.

More people are availing of the Society's services than ever before as more people in Ireland are diagnosed with cancer each year. 30,000 people are diagnosed with the disease each year.
