As you may know, the Mater Public Hospital is close to my heart; I had a double lung transplant there in 2020 which saved my life. I am living proof of the wonderful work that they do. The care and treatment I received under the Heart and Lung Transplant team was second to none and I can’t speak more highly of them.

Since then, the work of the Mater Foundation charity has become very important to me; I want to continue helping others who find themselves needing critical care.

During my own transplant, I was kept alive on life support, thanks to an advanced form of mechanical ventilation. Without it, I would not be here today.

This Christmas, I want to continue being an advocate for their important work. I am supporting an important campaign to secure 12 mechanical ventilators and humidifiers – the best technology available for keeping ICU patients alive and breathing until their body recovers. As you know, advanced medical technology comes at a high price. To make this a reality, €478,420 is needed to fund this equipment.

So this year, I am asking you again to consider donating to this very worthy initiative, in lieu of sending Christmas gifts to Cosgrave Developments and our team.

Your donation will mean patients who are literally fighting for their last breath can get world-class care from expert medical teams, in a hospital equipped to a world-class level; creating a facility that will attract top Irish and international medical talent.

Last year, together you helped us raise a remarkable €270,000 for the Heart & Lung Unit, enhancing comfort for patients, such as the introduction of Smart TVs, exercise equipment, a new lighting system, and other vital medical equipment. The funds raised have also helped to send nurses on further advanced training courses and also develop a new mobile phone app to assist transplace patients pre- and post-op.

This Christmas, your kindness can give the gift of life to people needing ICU care in the Mater. It may even one day save the life of someone you know.

Yours gratefully,

Mick

About the new 98-bed hospital wing where this equipment is needed

These mechanical ventilators and humidifiers will be used in a new state-of-the-art 98-bed Rock Wing that is currently being built by the hospital - this will include specialist care for critically ill patients with serious respiratory conditions. It is being delivered on-budget and in record time - two years from initiation to its completion early next year.
