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.

Jackie McCarthy O’Brien And Her Memoir ‘We Made It, Kid’
Jackie recently published her memoir, ‘We Made It, Kid’, described as “compelling, heartfelt and inspiring”.
The book certainly has a lot to cover: from Jackie being born to an Irish mother and Jamaican father in the UK, then being placed in an industrial school as a baby by a priest for being an "illegitimate" and so much more besides.
Jackie joined Alan Morrissey on Thursday's Morning Focus.
