Kyle’s organ donation a comfort to parents

TONY and Adrienne Gavigan will never forget the day their 12-year-old son, Kyle, was killed in a car accident.

Yet, seven years on, they draw comfort from the fact that his donated organs are helping to keep others alive and healthy.

“When we realised Kyle was not going to survive, we decided to donate his kidneys and cornea,” says Tony, 46, a garda with the traffic unit in Kells, Co Meath. “We have never regretted that decision.”
