Organ donor choices stored on drivers’ licences should be shared with the HSE to help families make decisions around this sensitive topic, experts have said.

Currently, out of 3.2m people with a full licence or learner's permit, some 1.48m or 46.3% have Code 115 indicating donor status, the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has said.
