Organ Donation

Donor Card

The Irish Donor Network, in collaboration with the Irish Kidney Association and the Department of Health and Children, promote, print and distribute the 'Gift of Life' donor card. This newly designed card portrays the rising dawn over a green landscape.

Carrying the card indicates that you are supporting new life by demonstrating your intention of donating organs and tissue for the purpose of transplantation after your death.

In signing the Donor Card you indicate your intentions to be a donor. The final decision will always be that of your family/next of kin who have to consent to the procedure. This decision is much easier if your family/next of kin understand what your wishes are.
