Stunt or coup, anything that highlights donation is a plus

Kidney transplant recipient Regina Hennelly says amending the law is vital for those awaiting new organs.

Some have labelled it a political stunt, but for the hundreds waiting, and the 3,000 or so of us who are living because we received organ transplants, the recall of the Seanad is something of a coup.

For the first time, Ireland may at last have a piece of legislation on organ donation and transplants that means something.
