Tragic Ultan continues to give through organ donation

Mourners were told yesterday that even in death, 8-year-old Ultan Hayes has kept on giving — by donating organs to four others, three of them children.

Addressing a packed Mass of the Angels at St Caimin’s Church in Mountshannon, Co Clare, Ultan’s mother, Orla, yesterday paid tribute “to our most wonderful boy”.

As part of the offertory procession, a donor card was offered up and mourners were told “even in death, Ultan showed his unflinching determination to help others and to always give back”.
