Upon announcing their participation in the campaign, Longford County Council stated that Andy’s legacy would continue to inspire efforts to raise awareness, educate communities, and help prevent future loss of life through early recognition and action.

Cathaoirleach of Longford County Council, Councillor Garry Murtagh, stressed the importance of developing a better understanding of sepsis, adding that increased public knowledge could save lives.
He added, “It is vital that people know the warning signs and feel confident to act. We are grateful to Linda and Bobbi for their leadership and courage in driving this campaign, and it is a privilege for the Council to support it.”
Chief Executive of Longford County Council, Paddy Mahon said the council was honoured to support Linda and Bobbi in such an important campaign.
He continued, “Sepsis awareness can save lives, and initiatives like this play a crucial role in ensuring people know the warning signs and act quickly. It is especially meaningful for us to be part of this work in memory of our colleague Andy, who is fondly remembered by all who worked with him."
Longford County Council encourages the wider community to learn more about sepsis and to continue supporting awareness efforts across the county.
