The public access defibrillator located at Hegarty’s Spar on Muckross Road is part of a network of 16 public access AED’s located throughout Killarney.

The location was chosen due to the many hotels and residential areas nearby and due to the large volume of tourists that travel this route on the way to the National Park and Ring of Kerry.

"Public access AEDs in Killarney have been used a number of times already this year, increasing the chance of survival in persons suffering from cardiac arrest," Kevin O'Leary from Killarney Cardiac Response Unit (KCRU) said.

"Killarney Heartsafe and KCRU want to remind the public that these devices are available to all for use in an emergency. We appeal for everyone in the Muckross area to be familiar with your nearest AED location and further details can be found on www.killarneycru.ie."

Kerry TD Michael Cahill says he is pushing to ensure the Killarney Innovation Centre secures the funding it needs for its planned expansion.

Deputy Cahill raised the issue in a recent Parliamentary Question to Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke. The centre has applied to the Smart Regions Enterprise Innovation Scheme under Enterprise Ireland to support future projects.
Minister Burke told Deputy Cahill that the centre’s application will receive “appropriate consideration” and confirmed that Enterprise Ireland will assist the organisation in shaping proposals that match the aims of the scheme.
Deputy Cahill said the support would give the Killarney Innovation Centre “a first run to the ball” in identifying suitable projects that can attract national funding. He added that the centre has received strong Government backing for more than 30 years.
The Minister also noted that three other Kerry projects are progressing under the same national scheme, including a €1 million allocation for the AI Navigator Programme at the RDI Hub in Killorglin, which is designed to help small businesses adapt to artificial intelligence.
