An urgent appeal has been issued to people in Clare for blood donations, as supplies remain very low in the wake of Storm Éowyn.
The recent severe weather events and high levels of respiratory illness within communities has significantly impacted blood collections and the IBTS is running critically low in blood stocks.
It says it urgently needs new donors, younger donors, donors of all ethnicities and in particular, those of African heritage.
Clinics are taking place in Ennis and Ennistymon today and tomorrow and Broadford based Donor Recruitment Executive, Alex O’Connor says five days worth of blood is required to reach comfortable levels of supply.
You can listen to the full interview below.
