New defibrillator installed at Áras an Mhuilinn

Mullingar Community First Responders and Áras an Mhuilinn have installed a defibrillator for public use.

The defibrillator will be available for cardiac emergencies on a 24-hour basis all year round, and it is expected that staff and volunteers of an áras will be given the necessary training to use this equipment.

An cathaoirleach Camillus Glynn complimented board member Martin Coyle, who proposed that this facility be provided by the comhaltas centre.
