Defibrillators are available on-site in the Houses of the Oireachtas and all personnel should be aware of their location and how they are used. These machines are so easy to use and they help save lives. I welcome the initiative in respect of transition year students but I would like it to be extended to Members and staff of the Houses of the Oireachtas. Members should all be conversant in how to resuscitate someone if it should prove necessary to do so.
