Important Public Meeting

Many things these days promise to change our lives for the good, few do. Community based defibrillators are proving to be one thing which does fulfil this promise.

Many communities in Kildare and throughout Ireland have successful defibrillator programmes in place which indeed change people’s lives for the good.

A recent fund raising golf classic run by the Kilcullen Lions club generated enough funds to purchase a defibrillator (which will enable heart attack sufferers to receive treatment in the vital few minutes before the arrival of an ambulance)

But that’s only the first step, for the whole community to benefit a plan needs to be put in place to ensure the defibrillator is deployed effectively.

In order to discuss this plan, a public meeting will be held on the Tuesday 22nd of November in the KARE Premises (Cross & Passion Convent opposite the entrance to Leinster Marts) at 8.00pm.

The success of this project depends on the support of the whole community, so please make time to attend this meeting as it really could change your life.
