A Public Access Defibrillator was launched on Baltinglass Main Street yesterday, Wednesday, April 26.
And a group of locals were trained in its use, with local TD Billy Timmins and Donard First Responder Paul Byrne present for the training.
The defibrillator is located on the wall outside Baltinglass Pharmacy.

Experts say that starting CPR early and using a defibrillator greatly increases the chances of that person surviving.
