“I look forward to working closely with the IKA's CEO Carol Moore and the staff at Donor House in Park West, Dublin and to champion and oversee the wonderful work of the Irish Kidney Association made possible by its valued grassroots membership of over 3,000 people including volunteers from 25 branches . I also look forward to working with the newly appointed Honorary National Secretary, Marie Fowley from Sligo and National Honorary Treasurer, Joan Gavan from Tipperary.”
