Hospital holds mass for organ and tissue donors

Up on 2000 people attended the Annual Mass of Remembrance and Thanksgiving for families of organ and tissue donors and recipients today.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin Royston Brady joined the congregation at Corpus Christi Church in Drumcondra as well as members of the Kidney Association and National Transplant Co-ordinators from Beaumont Hospital.

It is the eighteenth annual mass to take place and Chief executive of the Irish Kidney Association, Mark Murphy, feels the awareness of the importance of organ donation is heightening all the time.
