*Newly elected chair of the Clare branch, Dermot Hayes.ย 

CLAREโ€™s branch of the Irish Kidney Association are holding what has been described as โ€œa very important meetingโ€ this Tuesday.

Taking place at 8pm on Tuesday (October 29th) in The Old Ground Hotel, the meeting will have two senior staff members from the Irish Kidney Association national office in attendance.

They will be informing members on how members with kidney issues can overcome various difficulties. Plans to open a new unit in Ennis Hospital within the next sixteen months for persons on Hemodialysis will also be discussed, this facility is hoped to save individuals from having to travel to the unit in Limerick and Galway.

Corofin native, Dermot Hayes has recently been elected as the Chairperson of the Clare branch with Lisa Oโ€™Dwyer appointed secretary.

Hayes outlined that the meeting will also stress the importance of carrying a donor card for the public โ€œalong with the benefits of being a member and the use of the holiday homes in Ireland for those with kidney failure. We are planning a gathering for Christmas lunch and to share some social time. While remembering all those that have passed away and were activistโ€.
