There are ten defibrillators in my Department. One defibrillator is accessible in each of the ten buildings where officials of my Department are located, including in the Passport Offices. The cost of each defibrillator was €1,295.85. As there is no public access to departmental offices outside of office hours, the defibrillators are not available during such periods.
