People in Kerry are being encouraged to register as organ donors.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is supporting the Irish Kidney Association in encouraging people to sign up.

This week marks Organ Donor Awareness Week and just 46% of Irish motorists have registered as an organ donor.

Kerry Fianna Fáil Senator Mark Daly has been the Irish Kidney Association’s nominee to the Seanad since 2007.

He believes there’s merit to further explore how legislation can be drafted to include data sharing of information with healthcare professionals to facilitate a more informed discussion with families around the issue.
