Plea for 13,000 blood donations to boost pre-Christmas supply levels
The Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) urged people to make a special effort to give blood between now and Christmas as they announced details of the Garda Blood for Life Cycle in Cork yesterday.
“Low attendances at clinics since the October bank holiday weekend has left the blood supply very tight in recent weeks,” the IBTS’s director of operations Paddy Bowler said.
