A voluntary community cardiac first responder scheme has been achieving life saving results in the months since being established in the Blackrock/Haggardstown area.
The scheme supplies help within minutes to a person in the area who has called 999 with symptoms of choking, heart attack or stroke. In the 10 months it has been in operation there have been 12 call outs.
Now the group behind the scheme are attempting to roll it out to the rest of the county. Ideally, they would like to see each group cover an area of between 6km-8km.
A general meeting to set up a Louth committee will take place tomorrow night (Thursday) at 7.30pm in the Dundalk Gaels hall at the back of the new Tesco superstore, on the site of the old Dundalk Shopping Centre.
