We can confirm that Mr Brolly is recovering very well having donated his kidney on October 3rd. However, sadly after initially functioning well, there were complications with the transplant and the kidney had to be removed on October 12th.   This is a rare and unfortunate occurrence after kidney transplantation, (most kidneys from a living donor work successfully for many years),  and whilst both families are naturally devastated, they are hugely encouraged by the massive wave of goodwill and support from the community and the resultant increased public awareness of the critical importance of organ donation. Mr Finnegan is confident that with the continued support of family and friends he will be home soon and able to resume a full family and work life.   Both Shane and Joe are very keen to support the Trust's campaign for organ donation and when fit and ready have agreed to spearhead a drive to increase the number of donors. For both men and their families, this has been a life affirming experience.
