THE IRISH Blood Transfusion Service (IBTS) is asking Limerick people to donate, with the demand for blood products higher than ever last month.

Last month recorded the highest demand for blood product requests from Irish hospitals and the IBTS issued a pre-amber alert to Irish hospitals urging them to conserve blood stocks last October.

Escalation to a full AMBER-Alert could impact on scheduled hospital procedures which require blood product support.

Thursday December 11: Devon Inn, Templeglantine, 4.50pm – 8.10pm.
