Every day across Ireland, CRITICAL responders are helping people during some of the worst moments of their lives.

Next month, the CRITICAL Car Show at Fota House, Arboretum & Gardens will give people a chance to meet the volunteers behind that work, learn more about emergency response, and support the charityโ€™s lifesaving services in communities across the country.

Alongside supercars, vintage cars and emergency response demonstrations, visitors will also have the opportunity to meet frontline responders, learn CPR and hear more about the impact CRITICAL is making nationwide.

The event takes place on Sunday June 28th, with all proceeds helping CRITICAL continue expanding its network of volunteer responders across Ireland.

๐Ÿšจ Chest Pain โ€“ Know What To Do ๐Ÿšจ

Chest pain should always be taken seriously. Acting quickly can save a life.

โค๏ธ What to Do in an Emergency:

๐Ÿ“ž Call Emergency Services
Dial 999 or 112 immediately and tell the dispatcher you are experiencing chest pain.

๐Ÿช‘ Rest
Sit down in a comfortable position and stay as calm as possible. Do not attempt to drive yourself to hospital.

๐Ÿ’Š Chew an Aspirin
If you have aspirin available and are not allergic, chew and swallow one slowly while waiting for help.

๐Ÿฉบ Take Prescribed Medication
If you have a spray or tablets prescribed for angina, take them exactly as directed by your doctor.

๐Ÿšช Unlock Your Door
If you are alone, unlock your door so paramedics can access your home quickly.

โš ๏ธ Never ignore chest pain. If in doubt, get checked out.

Itโ€™s been an exceptionally busy week for our Community First Responder Group, with a significant number of call-outs across the area.

Day and night, our volunteers have stepped up โ€” responding, supporting the emergency services, and providing critical care in those vital first moments when it matters most. Each call represents someone in need, and the dedication shown this week has made a real difference in our community.

We want to acknowledge the commitment, teamwork, and resilience of every responder who answered the calls. Balancing this level of demand alongside work, family, and everyday life is no small feat.

Thank you for your continued service and for being there when it counts. ๐Ÿ’™

Stay safe, and take time to recharge after a demanding week.
