Paul donated a kidney to Niamh in an operation in July of last year after she had to have one of her kidneys removed in 2011 due to a rare condition.
When her remaining kidney began to fail in 2020 Paul was one of a group of family members to be assessed for living donation.
Niamh and Paul shared their story with Anne Norris on today's Lets's Talk show.
