If you can get out to donate, act fast.
Irish clinics are urgently calling for blood donations in the lead-up to Storm Emma and freezing temperatures as the stock of O Negative blood is down to its last three days.
The Irish Blood Transfusion Service sent out the appeal to Donegal, Cavan, Clare, Dublin and Cork, all of which “really need” O Negative along with all other types.
In total, seven banks will be in operation nationwide today (27 February) and will be running until later this evening.
They are as follows:
Donegal Town, Abbey Hotel from 6:30 – 9:30pm
Cavan Town, Hotel Kilmore from 4:30 – 8pm
Clare, Ennistymon, The Falls Hotel from 5-8pm
Dublin, D’Olier St from 10-6pm and Stillorgan from 10-8pm
Cork, Donoughmore Community Centre from 5 – 8:30pm and St. Finbarr’s Hospital, 3:30 – 7:30pm
