Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
General Scheme of the Human Tissue (Transplantation, Post-Mortem, Anatomical Examination, and Public Display) Bill 2018: Discussion
Mr. Mark Murphy:
By the time the ten-year period for fully rolling out the new format of licence is finished, there will be 1.4 million who have said "Yes" to having code 115 on the card. That is sufficient if a person does not have a donor card and it is a strong registry. It will be 38% of the adult population in three years. We have their decision to be an organ donor so it would be amazing to me if we do not want to use that resource.
