Well Done to all who were involved in this initiative. Such a great investment ๐๐
๐ซ Three New Defibrillators Installed in Ballaghaderreen ๐ซ
Ballaghaderreen Town Team has installed three Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) across the town as part of an initiative to enhance public health and safety. The project, costing โฌ5,000, aims to ensure quicker access to lifesaving equipment in the event of a cardiac emergency.
๐ Locations:
Garda Station, New Street โ Eircode F45 TR98
The Library, The Square โ Eircode F45 K763
The Clinic, Pound Street โ Eircode F45 Y099
Each AED is housed in a temperature-controlled cabinet, with access code C123 displayed on the window.
The units are also being registered with the National Ambulance Service, allowing emergency callers to be directed to the nearest AED when providing their Eircode.
Patricia Madden of Ballaghaderreen Town Team said the project represents โan important investment in the health and well-being of the community.โ
Funding for the initiative was provided through the Local Enhancement Programme 2025, which supports projects aimed at improving public services and infrastructure.
Residents are encouraged to participate in AED/CPR training sessions to help ensure as many people as possible are prepared to act in an emergency.
