A new Community First Responder (CFR) group is being established in Kilkenny City with the aim of providing life-saving assistance in emergencies before paramedics arrive.
The initiative, led by a team of like-minded volunteers, will receive support from Critical, a charity that equips CFR teams and out-of-hours doctors.
