MOTION NO.4

MOTION: Councillor A. Edge

That this Area Committee request the Public Realm to liaise with the Tallaght CFR (First Repsonders) about the feasibility of an AED (not requiring a power source) at the Weir in Dodder Valley Park.

REPORT:

The Public Realm and the Active South Dublin Sections of the Council can facilitate a meeting with Tallaght Community First Responders as requested here.

Defibrillators have been installed at many locations around the county including at County Hall, Tallaght and the Clondalkin Civic Offices, and at all Public Libraries. These are provided and maintained by the Council and can be accessed by the public during opening hours of that building. 

There are numerous AED's provided throughout the County by a wide variety of groups from local community groups, sports organisations, large shopping centres, individual pharmacies and private commercial companies. The upkeep and maintenance of defibrillators is the responsibility of the relevant sports club, community group or management company that takes on to install an AED on their property.
