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.

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 For more information, visit the official site here.
