here was a time when they were about as common as 84s around Greystones, so it’s very heartening – literally – to see so many defibrillators in the town today.
And that’s largely down to the great work of The Greystones Community First Responders, as well as the many people who have helped fundraise for these life-savers, and, most importantly, those clubs and special individuals who have paid for one outright.
We got in touch with First Responder veteranMargaret Dugganto put together a complete list of locations around Greystones where you will find a defibrillator. If you know of any we’ve missed, let us know oninfo@greystonesguide.ie. Mags and Keith also put together his handy guide to CPR and using a defibrillator.
Adding a little twist to the good work, the Greystones Fire Brigade have started positioning defibrillators around the town too, 18 of June 1st 2023. Different timetable for maintenance to the Responders, and somewhat independent of Margaret and co too, but when it comes to such life-saving devices, you can never have too many.
If you need the GCFR gang, simply dial112 or 999. You can find out more about these wonderful local heroes right here, and you should be able to find the defib nearest you by typing AED into Google Maps here.

Excellent to see these cropping up in more locations? Who funds these? They’re €1300 each in the shops for that brand..
