Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 November 2017
1104. Deputy James Browne asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the estimated cost of the provision of a defibrillator in each public building owned by her Department and agency under the aegis of her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [45978/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe cost of a defibrillator varies depending on the actual model. My own Department is located in one headquarters building and I can confirm that there are already two defibrillators in place which is considered sufficient.
As the installation of a defibrillator is an operational matter for individual agencies under the aegis of my Department, I have requested that the agencies involved respond directly to the Deputy. I can however, confirm that there is a defibrillator in place at the headquarters building for the Commission of Investigation into Mother and Baby Homes.
The deferred reply under Standing Order 42A was forwarded to the Deputy.
