A word to the wise

The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – There are severe weather warnings for some of the country this weekend, and many of us will spend time cooped up at home or unable to get out and enjoy this beautiful country. It is worth noting that today is European Donation Day, when the gift and value of organ donation are recognised across the continent. Perhaps if you find yourself unable to do much more with the weekend, readers might let their families know their views on this important matter? A few sentences uttered over the morning newspaper could save the lives of others many years from now. – Yours, etc,

Dr BRIAN O’BRIEN,
