Clare Blood Donors Urged To Bolster Vital Supply As O Negative Stocks Dip

Clare blood donors are being urged to make a life saving donation as Ireland's universal blood supply is eight days below the desired rate. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service is holding blood donation clinics today and tomorrow in Kilrush Community School from 5pm until 8:20pm both days. Supplies of O Negative blood are being sought, with just over two days of stock remaining nationwide, however donations of all blood types will be accepted. Broadford-based Irish Blood Transfusion Service Donor Recruitment Executive Alex O'Connor, says ideally hospitals would want 10 days supply of each blood type.
