499. To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the estimated cost of the provision of a defibrillator in each public building owned by his Department and agency under the aegis of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45973/17]

I can inform the Deputy that defibrillators are installed in my Department's public buildings. The costs are not readily available as the equipment is in place, in some instances for many years.  All the defibrillators are checked monthly as part of the routine health and safety checks and batteries are replaced every four years and pads every two years.

I have requested that the relevant bodies and agencies which fall under the remit of my Department contact the Deputy directly with the relevant information in respect of public buildings within their individual areas of responsibility.
