It would be more effective to state on your ads exactly what you do to help and where the charity money actually goes

It's disrespectful an ad thought up by people who have no idea what it's like to live with cancer - a horrible reminder

My mother, grandmother, aunts and cousins certainly did not want to get cancer. I find this ad extremely distasteful

This advert is in shocking poor taste. It has done nothing but cause offense and upset. I have lost so many people I love to this dreadful disease both young and old. It is part of my daily life and a dark cloud that will always loom over my family. Shame on you.

Awful, insensitive, inappropriate ad campaign. Take it down and publicly apologise to the people of Ireland.

Incredibly distasteful ad in my opinion. Having to explain it to my daughter of 7 asking why would anyone want to get cancer; she thought it was a bad thing?

I recently lost my father to this hateful disease. This advert does nothing for raising awareness of the symptoms it plays on shock tactics...Its disrespectful to those who lost their fight or who are growing through a tough battle.

I recently lost my daughter aged 35 to breast cancer. Whilst the ad is thought provoking its rather insensitive.

Out of respect for people with cancer please remove ad.
