I am advised that there is a procurement programme in place to have all barracks or posts equipped with at least one defibrillator. The procurement programme is ongoing and I understand that at the moment, over half of military barracks/posts are equipped with defibrillators. In addition, all of the eight Naval Service ships are equipped with a defibrillator as are Air Corps aircraft, as required.
