Kilcock Community First Responders Kilcock Community First Responders was established in August 2019. We assist the National Ambulance Service with certain 999/112 calls 24/7/365.

Community First Responders (CFRs) assist persons awaiting the arrival of an ambulance specifically in cases of cardiac arrest, chest pain, stroke and choking. If required, the CFR will commence resuscitation and use an AED to give the patient the best chance of survival.

Ahead of Restart a Heart Day tomorrow, yesterday on RTÉ Radio 1, Oliver Callan spoke to Ralph Lynch, who credits the quick actions of bystanders with saving his life when he suffered a cardiac arrest. Ralph’s son is our Community Engagement Officer Jonathan, making this story particularly close to home.

Ralph received help from paramedics, a nurse and a Community First Responder who stepped in when he needed it most. His story is a powerful reminder of how knowing CPR and acting quickly can make all the difference.

Also featured was Dr Conor Deasy, President of the Irish Association for Emergency Medicine, discussing the importance of knowing CPR and responding to cardiac arrest in an emergency.

Ahead of Restart a Heart Day, we’re encouraging everyone to learn CPR and how to use an AED. You could help save a life.

Listen back to Oliver Callan on RTÉ Radio 1 to hear Ralph’s story: https://www.rte.ie/radio/radio1/clips/022899b7-866c-47a1-b378-b4e300ceb82d/

At the end of September, we had 361 active Community First Responder (CFR) groups across the country, up from 344 at the same time last year.

That growth reflects the continued commitment of volunteers who give their time to support their local communities and provide vital assistance while an ambulance is on the way.

Is mór againn an obair a dhéanann ár CFRs ar fud na tíre, go raibh maith agaibh go léir. 💚

We're experiencing a high volume of emergency calls this evening (Friday 9 October).

Our incredible ambulance crews, call-takers and support staff are working around the clock to respond to those who need us most.

You can help by only calling in a real emergency. If your condition is not life-threatening, consider contacting your GP, local pharmacy, GP Out of Hours service or attending an Injury Unit where appropriate.

If you do need to call 999 or 112, please stay calm, answer the call taker's questions and follow any instructions they provide. This helps us get the right care to the right patient as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as our teams continue to provide emergency care across the country.
