QUESTION: Councillor Alan Hayes

To ask the Chief Executive if there is an existing Council policy regarding the installation of public access defibrillators on council property and if local community groups can provide a public access AED and cabinet, will the council support their installation on council lands such as playing pitches where the electricity required can be provided via existing floodlights or clubhouse.

REPLY:

Defibrillators are installed in County Hall, Tallaght and the Clondalkin Civic Offices. These are publicly accessible and are signed as such.

There are two defibrillators located in the vicinity of Corkagh Park. One is in the first aid room in Corkagh Depot and a second one is located in the Reception Office at the Camac Valley Caravan and Camping Park. There is a Public Access defibrillator located at the TASC pavilion in Tymon Park.

There are defibrillators located at all Public Realm depots.  These can be accessed by the public during opening hours.

Suitable site locations in parks and close to sports amenities are examined on an ongoing basis.
