The father of a young University of Limerick (UL) student who died after being injured in a kayaking accident in Kerry over the weekend has urged members of the public to consider organ donation. Aisling and a male student in his early twenties got into difficulty in rough waters at around 2.30pm last Saturday afternoon. The two kayakers were airlifted to University Hospital Kerry in Tralee where Aisling subsequently passed away from her injuries. David O’Connor, father of Aisling, sent an email to the 96FM Opinion Line asking that other families consider organ donation in the event of a tragedy. Even in death, Aisling continues to care for, enrich and help others in need.
