Staying Alive - An AED Map for Ireland

We are very fortunate here in Ireland that we have many community groups, businesses and other organisations that have automatic external defibrillators available should a member of the public need them. The unfortunate thing is, that, while everyone might know of the location of one or two, say at work or the local football pitch, AEDs can be hard to find, especially when you're in a new locality. There was a project a few years ago to map the locations of AEDs in Ireland a few but that seems to have died unfortunately. That was a real shame because these devices do save lives every day and could save even more if the people that need them can access them in time. The chances of successful defibrillation decrease at a rate of between 7 to 10% for each minute that passes and without CPR the chance of successful defibrillation is practically zero after 10mins. There probably isn't a person in the country who doesn't not of know someone whose died from a heart attack.

Thankfully aedmap.org (who I'm not affiliated with in any way btw) have released an app that maps these lifesaving devices, but the map is crowdsourced. This is where people here come in: if everyone that reads this thread added just one AED that they knew of, we would have a comprehensive map of the country.

Go on, download the app, it's called Staying Alive
