People awaiting kidney transplants have expressed concerns that no date has yet been given as to when the surgeries, which were paused because of the coronavirus, will resume.
The transplant programme was halted last month because of the risks of Covid-19, which the Irish Kidney Association (IKA) has said is disappointing but understandable.
Its chief executive Mark Murphy has said it's a very difficult time for those waiting for transplants and they are now in limbo because they don't know when normal service will resume.
Professor Jim Egan, director of Organ Donation and Transplant Ireland, said the situation is reviewed weekly but as of yet no date can yet be given as to when normal service will resume.
