Brian gets ‘gift of life’ from brother

A 45-year-old Kerryman can’t find words to describe how well he feels after receiving the gift of life from his brother.

Killarney native Brian Kelliher, who had been enduring a daily existence of dialysis, working, and sleeping, is now living a “normal” life again after a kidney transplant from brother Tomás, 47.

The Dublin-based solicitor was diagnosed with kidney failure in 1999 and had been on dialysisuntil he received an organ from a deceased donor, in 2000.
