Dublin City Fire Brigade has urged more people to learn first aid in 2017.
It follows the quick-thinking actions of a passerby in Dublin’s Marlay Park who performed CPR on a jogger, who collapsed on Stephens’ Day morning.
The bystander was also able to alert emergency services and an advanced paramedic was able to use a defibrillator on the casualty before removing them from Marlay Park to hospital.
It is believed the jogger is now recovering after a suspected heart attack.
