The Blood Donor Clinic on D’Olier Street will be open from 10am to 3pm on Sunday 21st, and it just takes a few minutes to provide a small blood sample. The sample of blood is added to the Irish Blood Transfusion Service’s database to cross check for matches to not just Paul but others also requiring a match.
