There's an urgent appeal for people in Galway to consider donating blood - as a donation drive is now underway in the city.
The Irish Blood Transfusion Service says there's only 3 days supply left in some cases - and they usually need a 7 day supply at all times.
Donations can be made at the Clybaun Hotel in Knocknacarra tomorrow (Thurs 22nd) between 4 and 8 pm.
Due to the critical shortages, an extra clinic has been put on for the weekend - and it will be open on Sunday from 11.30am until 3pm.
