Members of Maynooth/Kilcock Lions Club recently bought and installed defibrillators on shop fronts in the centre of nine Kildare towns and villages.
The new AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are located at Allenwood, Celbridge, Coill Dubh, Derrinturn, Donadea, Johnstownbridge, Kilcock, Maynooth, and Prosperous. A further device will be installed in Leixlip.
The lifesaving equipment is housed in a weatherproof and vandal resistant cabinet. A keycode for access in an emergency can be given by shop staff or the emergency services.
