I wish to advise the Deputy that the decision to install a defibrillator is made at local school level and is a matter for the board of management of each individual school.
The question of the need for defibrillators to be made available in places, such as schools, and any training needs arising is primarily a public health matter and would therefore be a matter for the Department of Health.
