Cork student Amy is living proof of the importance of CPR

A student whose life was saved by CPR says she's living proof of the importance of the life-saving skill.

Amy O'Brien, a student at St Vincent's Secondary School in Cork, revealed her near-death experience as the Irish Heart Foundation (IHF) presented her school with a special recognition award for training all of its staff and pupils in cardiopulmonary resuscitation as part of its CPR 4 Schools programme, supported by Bank of Ireland.
