Irish Donor Network Spring 2007
Our Association is a founder member of the IDN and continue to represent the interest of our members in this group.
In 2001 we wrote to the then Minister for Health Micheal Martin, requesting that a formal Irish Transplant Authority be established to oversee every aspect of Donation, Procurement and Transplantation.
Ireland is the only country in Western Europe without an Authority or controlling body and without laws and legislation governing all aspects of transplant activity.
Talks are currently ongoing with the HSE to set up a proper Transplant Authority
