AED HOUSING UPGRADED

Image: First Responders.

Kilcullen Community First Responders have installed a new housing for the AED at Kilcullen Credit Union to protect it from the elements. The installation includes solar power to help keep the unit charged.

The group expressed gratitude to the community for their donations which go towards the provision and maintenance of life-saving equipment. 

In case of an emergency, call 112/999 and have your Eircode available.

Meanwhile, as part of their programme to spread knowledge of CPR and using AEDs across the community, the Responders recently held a course for the staff of Kilcullen Community Childcare & Education Centre, which was very much appreciated by all there.

A BIT OF EVENING COLOUR

With a definite drawing in of the evenings, KCA thought it a nice idea to put in a bit of nighttime colour downtown. 

These lights in the Heritage Centre Lane represent the first part of a plan to decorate the space in a number of different seasonal styles. 

For now, they offer a little cheer against the thought of coming colder times.
