Donor cards are widely available in Ireland, and can be obtained from your local pharmacy, as well as from some universities and workplaces. Like many countries, Irish driving licences have a box to tick if you wish to become a donor. However, it is important to inform your next-of-kin of your feelings regarding organ donation, as they will be approached for consent even if you are carrying a signed card at the time of death. Organ donations are administered by the National Organ Procurement Service, based in Beaumont Hospital, Dublin 9 (01 809 2759).
