A West Clare woman has thanked the new group of Community First Responders in Kilkee, who came to the aid of her husband when he suffered a cardiac arrest.
Mary, who lives in Lisdeen, made contact with Morning Focus to express her gratitude to volunteers who arrived at her home within minutes of a 999 call.
It was one of the group’s first ever callouts – their official launch only takes place this afternoon – and Mary says without the quick response, it’s impossible to know what could have happened.
