I raised the recent theft of life-saving Defib’s from Castlemitchell and St Joseph’s GFC’s in the Seanad.
A very strong message needs to be sent to anybody engaging in the theft of life-saving equipment.
There is a bill, Life-Saving Equipment Bill 2017, that would make this a stand-alone offense and I asked that this bill be brought quickly through the house.
We are all aware of people in our communities that are alive today because of these and similar devices, a stolen one could be a life ended and nobody can contemplate that.
