Taoiseach Enda Kenny today launched the Irish Cancer Society's 27th Daffodil Day

A ‘Garden of Hope’, bearing messages of remembrance and hope for those lost-to or fighting cancer, will be planted in the Iveagh Gardens, Dublin on Daffodil Day,  supported by Dell. Thousands of daffodils with messages of hope and remembrance sent from people across the country will form a garden and the public are invited to come to along on Daffodil Day and plant their message.
