Organ donation of victim praised

MOURNERS at the tear-filled funeral of a couple who died in a road accident were reminded by a priest of the need for organ donors.

Family and friends were greatly saddened by the tragic deaths of David and Claire Broughall, both in their mid-30s, but had some consolation as Claire gave other people the gift of life by donating her organs.

In a homily at a requiem Mass for the couple in Dingle, Co Kerry, on Saturday, Fr Eugene Kiely said Claire’s generosity had brought hope to the recipients of her organs and their families.
