In 2023, the selflessness of 95 deceased and 30 living donors and their families led to 282 organ transplants in Ireland. This marked an increase from the previous year, surpassing pre-Covid levels. The majority of transplants involved kidneys, with 191 procedures, while there were also 54 liver, 24 lung, seven heart, and six pancreas transplants. The ODTI encouraged the public to discuss their intentions regarding organ donation with loved ones. Dr. Catherine Motherway expressed gratitude to the donors and their families, stating that their generosity transforms the lives of transplant recipients, saving and changing lives.
