“It’s great news that the soft opt-out organ donation bill has been signed off by the Executive and will now move quickly through the Assembly.
“This is life-saving legislation and will make a real difference to many families in the north.
“I commend the fantastic work of the Donate4Dáithí campaign who have brought this discussion to our homes and families.
