Local News: Vandalism puts lives at risk

Numerous posts on Facebook describe the perpetrators as “ scumbags, morons, mindless idiots, disgusting, bottom feeders, ” and worse. Jamie also tells us that the AED at St. Catherines was also vandalised. Alan Hanratty, of Rush First Responders, mentioned on Facebook that they had been receiving comments and messages complaining that some of the AED ’ s are not being accessible, not being maintained properly, and not properly registered and up to date. Alan confirms that this is absolutely NOT the case. Rush First Responders ensures that all AED ’ s around the town are fully and properly maintained, and all paperwork is fully up to date. He also mentions that inaccurate and negative comments such as these are disheartening to the volunteers who put in so much time and effort to protect our citizens. And as a final on related matters, some people might be reluctant to attempt mouth to mouth for fear of contracting COVID - 19. Be assured that you can still save a life without the need to use mouth to mouth. Here ’ s what to do if you witness an adult suddenly collapse.

Mindless Vandalism Could Cost Lives Jamie Bollard, of Rush First Responders, reports that an AED case outside Supervalu was vandalised sometime between 2 pm on Saturday 29th August and 1 pm the following day. Supervalu has CCTV footage, and the Gardai are investigating. If anyone has dash - cam footage of the area from those times, could they please pass this on to the Gardai.
