Volunteers sought in Blackrock and Haggardstown for defibrillator support group

An appeal has been issued to residents in the Blackrock and Haggardstown area to become volunteers in the Community Cardiac Responder scheme.

Spokesperson Joan McAdam stressed the importance of the scheme.

She said: We are a linked group with the National Ambulance Scheme and we are trained to respond to heart attack, stroke, choking and cardiac arrest.

“Training is free if you agree to go on a rota to be free to respond maybe once a week for a day or a night. Otherwise training is €40pp.”

Anyone who wishes to get involved is asked to contact Joan by emailing pjemcadam@gmail.com
