Written answers

I have noted the ruling of Mr Justice Treacy of the High Court in Northern Ireland regarding the blood donation policy operating in that jurisdiction. I understand that this decision is under appeal. While policy decisions in other jurisdictions do not impact directly here, it is normal practice for the Irish Blood Transfusion Service to keep developments in relation to blood donation at an international level under ongoing review.
