Calls have been made for Kilkenny County Council to look into holders for defibrillators so the life-saving devices can be stored around the City – with old Irish telephone boxes suggested as an option.

He said: “Heart of Kilkenny are campaigning to use old Irish telephone boxes, refurbish them and have them on busy streets."
