Cancer can have an enormous impact on someone's income and many people don't realise that they are eligible for financial help from the Government.

Last year's season cut my income by 25 percent, and if you cut it by half again, I'm not going to be able to pay my bills.

In the short-term, the obvious point is that the amount and level of income-based assistance makes a difference.

Obviously, we welcome the handouts given by the minister, particularly as far as income tax is concerned and also as far as the tax and retirement funds are concerned. I think what the budget did miss firstly in respect to creating incentives for the private sector to actually come and invest in this country. There was nothing and here I refer specifically to rates of corporate taxation. There was no direct incentive to the private sector to employ people.

I have heard of people dying from prostate cancer, and they are the unlucky ones, the people who didn't know they had got it, and it went on the rampage.

The horse is fine and in good shape but he might go for the Scottish National - instead.
