Residents of Whitebridge Manor have launched a community fundraiser to install a defibrillator (AED) in the estate following a recent cardiac emergency involving a local man.

Sean Óg O’Sullivan, a resident of the 73-home estate, went into sudden cardiac arrest and survived thanks to the fast action of family members who performed CPR and the swift response of emergency services..
The group hopes to raise around €2,500 to cover the cost of the defibrillator, cabinet, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Residents have responded positively, with many already supporting the effort.
As part of the plan, CPR and first aid training will be organised for residents, making sure more people are prepared to act in case of another emergency.
The fundraiser is being run with support from Heartsafe Killarney which will provide guidance on best practices for AED use and training.
