In 2017, Orla Tinsley’s life was saved when she received a double lung transplant at the age of 31. Today, she is awaiting a kidney transplant and must undergo dialysis treatment three times a week. An activist for cystic fibrosis and organ donation, Tinsley has campaigned for the Dáil to pass the Human Tissue Bill, which would introduce a 'soft' opt-out system for all adults in the country. In this episode, she speaks to Bernice Harrison about the miracle of organ donation and why she believes the laws around organ donation need to be changed. Produced by Suzanne Brennan, with vox pops from Katie Mellett.
