Brolly’s kidney donation fails

The kidney All-Ireland winner Joe Brolly donated to a close friend has failed to be successfully trans-planted.

The former Derry star underwent major surgery to donate one of his kidneys to close friend and Belfast-based PR executive Shane Finnegan on Oct 3.

The operation, which is not expected to impact on the 42-year-old TV pundit’s health, initially appeared to be a success.
