Donegal’s Garda Chief Superintendent is to further pursue the possibility of installing defibrillators in patrol cars.
While some Garda stations in the county are equipped with the lifesaving equipment, it’s thought that their vehicles should be too.
The call was made at the latest sitting of the Joint Policing Committee by former Garda Sergeant James Trearty who said with Donegal being such a vast and rural county, there is a real need for Gardai to have the tools at their disposal to save lives.
Chief Superintendent Terry McGinn said that efforts had already been made in this regard but pledged to explore the matter further.
