Community First Responders (CFRs) are members of the community, professionally trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation, who attend actual or potentially life-threatening emergencies and are dispatched by the National Ambulance Service.

In regard to the specific information requested by the Deputy pertaining to counties Laois, Offaly and Kildare I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
