Woman whose mother died of aneurysm urges people to embrace new organ-donor laws

Rose Moloney, who died aged 66 in 2017, became an organ donor for three people.

The daughter of a Thurles woman who died suddenly from a brain aneurysm and gave life to three people through organ donation has urged people to welcome new laws on donation.

The Human Tissue Act 2024 is in place from Tuesday. It brings in altruistic living organ donation to strangers for the first time in Ireland, and sees the creation of an opt-out register.
