116 Clare men face a prostate cancer diagnosis each year, according to National Cancer Registry of Ireland - and half of those who undergo prostate cancer treatment will go on to experience urinary incontinence (UI).

These figures form the backdrop to the launch of ‘Dispose with Dignity’, a new campaign from hygiene services company PHS Group, supported by the Irish Cancer Society and the Irish Men’s Sheds Association.

The initiative aims to break the stigma surrounding male incontinence and improve access to hygiene facilities, such as sanitary bins and vending products, in men’s public toilets nationwide.

New research released as part of the campaign reveals that a lack of suitable toilet facilities and low awareness about male urinary incontinence (UI) are having a serious impact on men’s mental health and daily lives.

John Wall, healthcare campaigner who’s living with Stage 4 Metastatic Prostrate Cancer spoke with Alan Morrissey on Thursday's Morning Focus.
