Public access to defibrillators
The Leader promises to raise Senator Quinn’s defibrillator proposal again with the Health Minister and seek concrete action.
Senator Feargal Quinn spoke about the availability of defibrillators, a matter he has raised on several occasions. As he mentioned, even if it was over-ambitious, we should certainly do something about the issue. I will raise it again with the Minister for Health, as I have on several occasions, to see if we can come up with some concrete proposals to advance it. I firmly believe it should be advanced.
Senator Terry Brennan welcomed the appointment of a gentleman to a new position, while Senators Trevor Ó Clochartaigh and Paul Bradford questioned the method by which he had been appointed.
