Cobh Tourism recently installed an Automated Emergency Defibrillator (AED) in an old style telephone box in Cobh Town Centre. It is available 24/7 in a highly visible location and the door access code is available by contacting Cobh Garda Station.
Speaking about Cobh Tourism’s latest project chairperson Fionnghuala Smith commented, “As a tourist townCobh needs to be a welcoming and safe place to visit. However a 24 hour access AED is also of huge benefit and comfort to the people of Cobh.”
The old style telephone box is located outside AIB and was funded by Cork County Council and Cobh Tourism. It was installed by John Reilly and Toddy Stafford. Old telephone boxes are iconic symbols and through initiatives like Heart of Killarney have come to be regarded as life saving locations. Their visibility makes them ideal places to keep defibrillators that can be accessed by the public at any time of the day and night.
The defibrillator and heated cabinet in which it is stored was generously donated by Ryan’s Bar and their customers. Their generosity may be a life saving contribution to the people of Cobh and the many visitors to our town for years to come.
