Killarney

<h3>Locals were shown some important life-saving skills during Saturday&#8217;s Restart a Heart event in town.</h3>
<p>Organised by the Killarney Cardiac Response Unit (KCRU), the day in ANAM Arts and Cultural Centre which provided demonstrations and heart health advice, was well attended.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our Restart a Heart event was well attended over the duration of the day, enabling members of the public to learn basic life-saving skills including CPR and AED usage and highlighting the locations of the many public access AEDs locally,&#8221; Kevin O&#8217;Leary from KCRU told the Killarney Advertiser.</p>
<p>&#8220;As part of Restart a Heart we were in a position to run a Chain of Survival art competition which many of the local schools participated in and a selection is available for viewing on www.killarneycru.ie. Our intention is to return Restart a Heart 2022 in a revised and larger format if COVID circumstances allow. We would like to thank all those who visited and assisted in Kerry&#8217;s largest CPR awareness event for Restart a Heart week 2021.&#8221;</p>
