Close to 700 pupils and teachers have been trained in the use of CPR at a Cork school, the largest training session ever undertaken by emergency services in the city.
Rows of children lined up at CPR manikins in the school hall at Coláiste Éamann Rís to learn a vital skill that can save lives and had no issues getting stuck in with some chest compressions.
