We'd like to say a huge thank you to Confey Gaa Club for the fantastic donation following their great Colour Run event.

This will be a huge help towards our costs and will help ensure we continue our invaluable work within the Leixlip community.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our Colour Run on September 28th with shared fundraising going to our juvenile teams and the wonderful crew . Members of Confey GAA Social Committee presented our local First Responder crew with a cheque of €1400 tonight. We thank them for all the amazing work they do to help in the community and provide people with care in times of great need and worry.

Congratulations to our responders Maria and Orla for coming 3rd in the CPR Challenge at the recent Rescue Org Ireland event!

Leixlip Fire Station and Leixlip Community First Responders recently joined forces for a lively evening of collaboration, coffee, conversation and the all-important biscuits!

The skills sharing was hosted by Leixlip Fire Station. It focused on strengthening the Chain of Survival—recognising cardiac arrest, delivering prompt CPR, and ensuring an AED (automated external defibrillator) reaches a patient as quickly as possible.

With community safety at its core, the evening highlighted how teamwork between emergency services and CFR volunteers supports faster, more effective responses during life-threatening situations.

The informal event featured practical demonstrations, group discussions, and even a light-hearted in-house CFR competition, where the winner proudly walked away with a coveted packet of Jaffa Cakes!

The community of Leixlip are fortunate to have local teams working together, sharing knowledge, and strengthening Leixlip’s emergency response capability.

Thanks to everyone who took part.
