Urgent call for blood donors this summer
The shortage has raised concerns at local hospitals including Our Lady of Lourdes in Drogheda and Louth County Hospital in Dundalk, where pressure is mounting ahead of the busy autumn period. The IBTS has warned that unless the national stock is replenished quickly, non-urgent surgeries could be postponed. Director of Donor Services at the IBTS, Paul McKinney, said the service needs an additional 2,000 donations over the next month to stabilise the supply. He pointed to summer holidays, heatwaves, and reduced donor clinic attendance as key factors behind the current dip. McKinney also encouraged more donors from diverse backgrounds to come forward, particularly individuals of African heritage, whose donations are essential for treating conditions like sickle-cell disease. In Louth, there is a long-standing tradition of blood donation, and one local man, Brendan Kelly from Dundalk, was recently honoured for his contribution. A painter and decorator by trade, Mr Kelly has donated blood over 100 times and was awarded the Porcelain Pelican Award earlier this year at the North-East Donor Awards in Navan. 'I donate because I can,' he said. 'If just one pint helps someone in need, then it's worth it.' The IBTS is encouraging people from all parts of the county to attend their nearest clinic, with appointments available throughout July and August. Donors must be aged between 18 and 64, weigh over 50kg, and meet standard health requirements. The process typically takes under an hour, and each donation can help save up to three lives. Local organisers and health officials are urging first-time donors to step up and regular donors to continue giving through the summer months. With blood stocks at dangerously low levels, the message is simple: Louth needs donors now more than ever.

'Urgent appeal' for blood donations after transfusion service warns of critically low stocks
THE IRISH BLOOD Transfusion Service (IBTS) has issued an urgent appeal for an additional 2,000 blood donations over the next four weeks, warning that national blood stocks have dropped to critically low levels for several key blood groups. Current supplies for O negative and B negative blood types are hovering at just three days worth, while O positive (the most common blood group in Ireland) is at only 2.5 days supply. The IBTS generally maintains a rolling seven-day supply across all blood groups to meet hospital needs. Paul McKinney, Director of donor services and logistics, said the situation is 'causing concern,' particularly given the high demand for blood following the Easter and May Bank Holidays and the impact of sustained good weather on clinic attendance. 'We need to boost our collections by 500 donations per week across all blood groups to meet consistently high demand,' McKinney said. 'The start of the summer holiday travel period has also reduced donor availability, which is why we're asking people to act now.' Advertisement To help manage the shortage, a stock management alert letter was issued to hospitals on 13 May, instructing them to restrict blood use and reduce on-site stock levels. The IBTS warned that if supply levels fall further, it may be forced to issue an 'amber alert' – a formal escalation in the blood shortage plan that would likely impact elective surgeries requiring transfusions. The IBTS is calling on regular donors, especially in Dublin and Cork, to make an extra effort to attend local clinics. The service is also appealing for greater donor diversity to improve patient outcomes. 'We particularly encourage new donors of African heritage to join the national blood donor panel,' said McKinney. 'This will help us diversify the donor base and improve blood type matches for patients in need.'

Irish Blood Transfusion Service urges public to donate as blood supplies reach critical low
Blood donors have been asked to take a break from the sunshine and attend clinics, with 2,000 extra donations urgently needed as some blood type supplies are down to just three days. The Irish Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) appealed on Wednesday for people to come forward in large numbers over the next four weeks. Clinics in Cork and Dublin are now offering donors mixed-reality experiences to make donation more fun. Only 3% of eligible people donate, but demand is so high it is estimated that one in four people will need a transfusion during their lives. Hospitals have been asked to use existing stocks of blood to help the IBTS share limited supply across health services. Director of donor services and logistics Paul McKinney said the IBTS aim to always have seven days' worth of blood in storage. 'However, current stock levels including those for O negative and B negative are causing concern at just three days' supply, and O positive which relates to nearly half the total population is at just over 2.5 days,' he warned. The IBTS issued a stock management alert to hospitals last week. 'If the IBTS must issue an 'amber alert letter' which is the next escalation level of the blood shortage plan, it would have an immediate implication for hospitals and for elective surgical procedures requiring blood support,' he said. Blood donors trying out new mixed reality experiences at IBTS clinics. The pilot initiative will run between May and June in a number of IBTS donation centres in Dublin and Cork. Picture: Abbot He explained that demand from hospitals has been high since the Easter and May bank holidays. 'The continued good weather has also impacted clinic attendances,' he said, adding: 'the start of the summer holiday travel period has also had an impact on donor availability'. The service is now seeking to boost collections by 500 donations per week. 'We are asking regular donors to make an extra effort to attend their nearest clinic especially in Dublin and Cork where we have clinic availability every week,' he said. He also called on holidaymakers to consider donating before heading away for the summer. 'New donors are especially welcome,' he said. 'We would particularly encourage new donors of African heritage to join the National blood donor panel to help us diversify the donor base and get better blood type matches for patients.' Clinics in Cork and Dublin began offering mixed reality experiences this week in partnership with healthcare company Abbott. Mr McKinney welcomed the novel approach. 'This innovative technology introduces a gaming-like experience which evidence and feedback suggests makes blood, platelet and plasma donation less intimidating and more fun for the donor,' he said. 'We also hope it will encourage many people, of all ages, who want to donate but have been nervous about doing so in the past." The project runs throughout June. Donors are given lightweight headsets with a translucent visor to wear while donating blood. Playing Intergalactica sees donors build a team of robots to explore planets, solve puzzles, and defeat enemies. While playing Zen Garden, donors listen to soothing music while planting seeds.
