Laois Gardai get lifesaving training and kit

Mountmellick Garda Station now has a defibrillator to offer lifesaving treatment in cases of cardiac arrest. 

Garda received training in the use of a defibrillator on Wednesday. The defibrillator will be stored at Mountmellick Garda Station.

Earlier this year plans were announced to begin rolling out the lifesaving devices to Garda vehicles nationwide following a successful pilot scheme in Donegal.
