RNLI recruit’s quick action saves heart attack victim

THE quick actions of an RNLI lifeboat recruit have been hailed after he saved the life of a man who collapsed in the street with a heart attack on Sunday.

Kilrush RNLI member Martin O’Gorman only completed a casualty care course last Thursday.

He was in a cafe in the Clare resort of Kilkee when his wife rang. A man in his 50s had been walking with his wife when he collapsed at 2.15pm. The couple, believed to be from Limerick, were in Kilkee for the weekend.
