Jury urges CPR refresher courses for gardaí
Cork City Coroner’s Court heard that James Walsh, 44, who lived at Mill Rd, Midleton, Co Cork, got no CPR for seven minutes after his collapse in a cell in the town’s Garda station because of the six gardaí who dealt with him that morning, only one was proficient in the technique.
One garda told coroner Dr Myra Cullinane he had received basic CPR training in 1990 but had received no refresher training since.
