The Irish Blood Transfusion Service has appealed to the public as their blood supplies are running low. As Storm Emma approaches Ireland, they are asking the people of Ireland to donate blood, if possible.

 

They shared that they have less than three days worth of supplies left, with O-negative blood supplies being extremely low.

 

They shared on Facebook, “O NEG DONORS WE NEED YOU! We have only 3 days supply of this stock left and really need O neg (and all other types to come into the clinic this week before the weather turns bad) #Giveblood #EveryOneCounts.”

 

 

They also added a list of the open clinics for today:

#Donegal Town in the Abbey Hotel from 6:30 - 9:30 pm
