Sister donates ultimate gift of life

AMID the gloom at the moment, a heart-warming conclusion to a personal emergency has helped to light up one family’s life.

On Monday, after almost a decade of damage to his kidneys, 31-year-old Cathal Mooney received a vital transplant that should ensure his health for at least the next three decades.

The gift came from his 28-year-old sister Kate, who has risked potential health issues in the future to help her sibling.
