A Limerick woman has told how a kidney transplant gave her another chance of life after having to go through four years of daily dialysis.

As she marked World Kidney Day at University College Cork, Sheena McDonagh, who now lives in Rochestown, Cork,  said she often thinks of the deceased donor whose gift gave her the chance to really live with her two children.
