Several hundred people have attended an event in Galway to promote and acknowledge organ donation.

The gathering took place at the Circle of Life garden in Salthill.It serves as a place where both donors and transplant recipients are remembered.

Among those who travelled was Gillian Curtis, from Co Kildare. She explained how she had a heart transplant in 2019, a procedure which has changed her life. "It’s hard to believe her heart is beating somewhere else, but it is," said her mother, with dad Mike adding:"I think it’s appropriate, we’re in the Circle of Life Garden, in Salthill, and there’s no death without life, that’s the circle.

Her husband, Denis, said the garden had been created out of love and aimed to be a space that would provide healing and hope to those visiting there.
