Ms Christine Quinn:

On awareness, I got sick suddenly and knew nothing about organ donation prior to my transplant. I never had a problem with it but was never asked about it. Key to all of this is awareness and the availability of proper information regarding the procedure. Following my transplant, I went back to work in June. I work in a large organisation. I have discussed organ donation with my work colleagues and my family. I have yet to meet any person who can give a reason people should not donate organs.
