The HSE has thanked the donors and families who enabled 250 organ transplants to take place in 2022
The health service has thanked the 86 deceased and 33 living organ donors and their families who made the live-saving procedures possible.
He said: “I’ve been incredibly lucky, and extremely grateful, that it has allowed me to live a totally normal life since. My thoughts are always with the donor family who made such an altruistic decision in what must have been a very dark space for them. “It is sometimes hard to convey how much we appreciate their gift,” she said. “Behind each figure in this report are lives transformed by a transplant by virtue of the enormous generosity of families who, in the most difficult circumstances, honour their loved ones wishes by choosing to donate their organs.
“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to those families who have made the selfless decision to donate their loved ones’ organs, as well as the dedicated staff who make organ donation and transplantation possible.
