- Families of Kidney Patients from outside Dublin, no matter what Dublin hospital their family member is attending.
- Kidney Patients who have to travel long distances to see their consultant as an outpatient may stay overnight.
- Preference for accommodation is given to families of patients receiving transplants from deceased and living donors and families of the seriously ill.
