Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Organ Donation: Discussion
11:15 am
Mr. Mark Murphy:
That is the point about a registry. The donor card may have been the only card in a wallet 35 years ago and now we are swamped with them. Its day is coming to an end and we need a registry so people do not have to carry the card. There are phone apps and there are ways to get people on a registry so they will not have to renew a donor card every time a purse is lost. The card may always remain as a symbol but we need an electronic process. It is demanded by the public.
