Mr. Mark Murphy:

I disagree with that analysis. It is essential to have a "No" registry along with a "Yes" registry. In that way, those who have made a decision would be captured. As the others would not have said "Yes" or "No", one would not be able to say they had said "No". If there were both "Yes" and "No" registers, both options would be available. Using the driving licence does not give an the option to say "No". Therefore, a "No" registry is needed. The two registers should be merged. They should cover both choices. More than 50% of adults in some US states have indicated their wish on their driving licence. Perhaps more Americans than Irish people drive, but it is a fact that the rate has reached 50%. That should be the target. If 50% of the population have made a decision, organ donation rates will increase.
