The IBTS says the shortfall means they need to collect an additional 2,000 donations nationwide over the coming weeks to prevent any impact on vital medical procedures.
Clinics are being held at Ballykisteen Hotel in Limerick Junction this evening and Thursday evening from 4.50pm to 8.10pm.
Irish hospital s demand for blood continues to rise month on month – 3,000 donations are needed each week just to keep pace.
