• Freshco Shop & Deli, Dublin Road
• John McGuinness Constituency Office, O’ Loughlin Road
• The Orchard House Bar & Restaurant, New Orchard

On behalf of the EE Defibrillator group, Mick Dooley thanked the people of St John’s Parish for their unwavering support for this important life-saving initiative. Mick had special words of commendation for those that allowed the defibrillators to be placed on their premises and who have taken responsibility for their supervision and upkeep. Finally, Mick expressed extreme pride in the project and said he was particularly pleased that one of the defibrillators had been used to help save the life of a person on John Street.
