Community talent show in South Dublin raised funds to provide equipment that can save lives.
The show was inspired by the Irish Heart Foundation (IHF) in its campaign for the community to help make defibrillators available in public locations throughout South Dublin. According to IHF statistics, some 5,000 people die every year in Ireland of sudden cardiac arrest—this is 13 lives lost every day. Access to defibrillators can mean the difference between life and death.
Donations raised by the talent show purchased four defibrillators for sports clubs to place in locations at their discretion. One was presented to Tallaght Rugby Club, one to Firhouse Clover Football Club and two to the Tallaght Town Asian Football Confederation to use in locations where their 26 teams train.
