Group members were delighted to help promote Restart a Heart Day at Portiuncula Hospital today. Many thanks to Joe Fahy and Mary Lyons from the Resuscitation Department for inviting us. @CFRIreland @AmbulanceNAS @BallinasloeLife
Lastly, a big thank you to Gateway Credit Union, which has supported our group since the beginning.
We are truly grateful to everyone who supports us in so many ways, as well as to all our wonderful volunteers, without whom our group could not function. 😊
We also thank Patrick Clarke and his family for granting permission to install an AED outside their property.
- Karen Lyons and her team from Galway Rural Development for their invaluable help and support in funding the purchase and maintenance of several of our AEDs.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the following individuals and groups:
- Dermott Killeen and his committee for successfully organising a sponsored 5km walk/run to raise funds for placing an AED outside his premises.
We now have 20 AED'S available 24/7 within a 5 km radius of Ballinasloe town. Here are photos of our latest additions
We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to everyone who supported us by using their blue tokens in Tesco recently. Your generosity ensures we can continue to maintain the AED's and cabinets in the area

Here are the enthusiastic participants from our recent CFR course! We had a wonderful mix of group members seeking recertification alongside local business employees eager to master AED usage in their communities. @AmbulanceNAS @CFRIreland – at Ireland
There was a fantastic turnout for last night's training scenario. The scenario tested Responders with a possibly unsafe scene, as they had to ensure the patient and environment did not pose a safety risk for themselves and others.
Members of the group attended a Health and Wellbeing Event in the Emerald Ballroom here in Ballinasloe last Friday. The members gave CPR demos, use of an AED and provided information to the public about the group – at Galway, Ireland
