Sir, - I read with interest Ronnie Walsh's letter (February 10th) about the urgent need fur blood. A few weeks ago, at a time when Dutch blood was being imported into the country, I rang Pelican House with a view to donating blood on the coming Saturday. Alas, I was told, Pelican House was closed on Saturdays (and Sundays too).
Is it possible that a Saturday opening would increase the number of regular donors in the Dublin area? It seems to me a pity that such an important institution cannot have opening hours comparable to those of a supermarket. - Yours, etc.,
Stillorgan Wood,
