Cardiac arrest survivor gifts defibrillator to Blarney group

He was minutes from death after going into cardiac arrest near the top of Blarney Castle last Friday.

But yesterday, US tourist David Motte walked out of Cork University Hospital hand in hand with his wife Joy, leaving a parting gift they hope will save another life.

It follows a decision by HeartSafety Solutions, a firm which sells automated external defibrillators (AEDs), to donate one of their life-saving devices to David.
