City defibrillator vandalised twice in space of a day

Plans to install a network of public defibrillators across Cork City are being reviewed after the city’s first 24/7 life-saving device was vandalised twice in the space of a few hours.

Cork Lions Club said last night it was “extremely disappointed” after the automatic external defibrillator (AED) on Oliver Plunkett St was damaged last summer.

And, given the costs, the club may have to review its ambitious plans to install 12 AEDs around the city centre.
