Warning over defibrillator batteries
Cork City Coroner’s court heard how an AED on one of Blackwater Sub Aqua Club’s dive boats failed to work as club members fought desperately to save John McNally after he got into difficulty off Roches’s Point.
Club member Liam Lacey said he checked the Zoll-made Class 2B AED, which was stored in a water-proof case in the club building, about 10 days before the dive and it indicated that everything was OK.
