A Co Fermanagh man who has been on a waiting list for a new kidney for the last two years has said new organ donation laws in Northern Ireland would be a ‘game changer’ for him.
The lack of a Stormont Executive had held up the passage of new opt-out legislation, with the Assembly recalled last week in a bid to have the new law approved following a campaign from the family of six-year-old Belfast boy Daithi MacGabhann.
An intervention by Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris will see Daithi’s Law passed via legislation in Westminster.
