Merry Christmas to all the amazing volunteers in the CFR network. Thanks for all you do to provide a vital community response to life threatening emergencies and being part of the Chain of Survival. #LifesavingCommunity

On a recent cardiac arrest call-out ROSC was achieved. A vital part of this was early CPR and AED use by a member of the public. Always know where your nearest AED is & learn CPR. Sincere thanks to all who assisted during this call-out & we wish the patient the very best.

Were are very grateful to the Liffey Champion for covering Moyglare Sand & Gravel’s installation of a publicly accessible AED . Thanks again to Christy and all at Moyglare Sand and Gravel. Early CPR and AEDs are vital links in the chain of survival. cfr.ie/chain-of-survi…

Sincere thanks to Maynooth Community First Responders for hosting us at their training in Maynooth Community College this evening. Great to go over scenarios and train with knowledgeable and friendly fellow CFRs.

20yrs after the idea was first mooted Ireland's network of community first responders is now made up of 4,000 volunteers in 300+ groups nationwide. At Kilcock CFR we are proud to be part of this network and available to help our community 24x7x365! rte.ie/news/leinster/…

We are in awe of our 300 plus volunteer CFR groups who respond to Ambulance Emergencies in their local Communities. #Lifesavingcommunity

Yesterday two of our members were delighted to give a Hands for Life session to the members of Kilcock Active Retirement group. The group included a number of women 90+ years old. Well done all!

Our Q1 Call-out stats (January - March 2025)

In 2005, the first official CFR scheme was set up in Dunlavin. 20 years later, there are over 300 CFR groups actively responding to calls and saving lives in their communities. We would like to thank the incredible volunteers and off-duty responders that make up these groups.
