Over 200 organ transplants took place in 2025The HSE have confirmed 202 organ transplants have taken place in 2025. The HSE’s Organ Donation Transplant Ireland Office (ODTI) said this was from 68 deceased and 29 living organ donors and their families. The average donor age in Ireland is in the 40s, which is much younger than in countries where organ donation and transplant rates are higher. "I also want to thank the transplant centres, organ donation nurse managers, ICU staff, Organ Donation Transplant Ireland and all those who work in our services and raise awareness around organ donation. "Together we can continue to advance towards ensuring the best outcome and care for the patients waiting for the life-changing gift of an organ transplant."
