The most important aspect of donation is that each of us makes an informed decision. It is important that we discuss it with our families/next of kin so that our wishes are known. The most unfortunate situation is that people go through life without making the decision.
The Irish Donor Network is made up of associations and individuals directly concerned with transplanation. It is comprised of families whose loved ones have donated as well as recipients and professionals. Those involved are:
- Donor families
- The Irish Kidney Association
- The Cystic Fibrosis Association
- The Irish Heart and Lung Transplant Association
- The Eye and Bone Banks
- Tranplant co-ordinators in Beamont and St.Vincent's Hospitals
- The Liver Transplant Unit - St.Vincent's Hospital
