Too much of the ultraviolet rays absorbed by our skin could lead to skin cancer. Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers especially in Northern Ireland. In fact, sun exposure accounts for 28% of the diagnosed cancer cases today.

It has been awhile since the real estate market has experienced the downturn as a result of the recession.
