What is the impact of organ donation and how can that message be transmitted to the wider public? That’s just one of the questions facing healthcare professionals, donor families, and transplant recipients who recently gathered for the 2025 National Organ Donation Conference in Galway.
The theme for the conference was “Conversations That Matter”. At the event John Burns, the former Deputy Principal of Rice College gave a talk on donor family experience. His younger brother benefitted from two liver transplants, while his older brother was an organ donor.
John joined Sally-Ann Barrett on Tuesday's Morning Focus to share more on this.

Clare Sumud Flotilla Activist Says She'd Return "A Hundred Times Over" Until Peace Achieved In Gaza
A Clare woman who was detained by Israeli forces while travelling to Gaza as part of the Sumud Flotilla says she would do it "a hundred times over" until a lasting peace is achieved in the region.
A public meeting will take place this evening in Cloughleigh in Ennis at 8:15pm.
Fanore activist Maureen Almai (Al-my), Head of the Clare Participation Network, Sarah Clancy and Ennistymon native Leigh Brosnan, who is a member of Lawyers for Palestine will all be in attendance for the round table discussion.
Maureen says it's disappointing that the international focus on Israel during the flotilla's campaign has waned in the weeks after.
