Fundraising effort to deliver 12 life-saving defibrillators for town

UPWARDS of €25,000 worth of life-saving equipment will be placed in public locations around Killarney in the coming weeks.

A voluntary group has raised the money to purchase 12 defibrillators, three of which have already been installed.

The Kerry town has a population of around 12,000 which can treble with the influx of visitors during the peak tourist season.
