Some photos from our De-Fib launch

Correction

Our launch of the First Responder Group and defibrillator will take place tomorrow night (tuesday 16th Nov) at 8 PM in Killeagh hall.

Please come along to support the group. And well done to those who will get their certificates on the night. Tune in soon for some photos to go with this.

First Responder Group

On Tuesday night we are going to launch our First Responder Group.

We'll kick off at 7 PM and show people our brand new shiny De-Fib.

Also there will be a little demo of how it all works, plus how to save a person who's choking.

Come along and support us for the night!

On a different topic, do you know anyone who would benefit from the use of the Rural Transport Scheme? We have a bus that travels from Killeagh to Mt. Uniake to Youghal. Please contact us at killeaghinch@gmail.com if you, or someone you know, is interested.

A.G.M

Our AGM is coming up on Thursday 2nd December at 8 PM in Killeagh.

Everyone is welcome to attend. The current community council will stand down at that point, and our newly elected council will take over.

Also we will have elections for new officers at that time. (Plus tea & coffee, and cookies if you're good)

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Some upcoming events

We have taken delivery of a De-fibrillator, and hope to launch our First Responders group in November. The probable date is Nov 16th in Killeagh Hall. come along if you're interested! Would you like to train in how to use this life-saving piece of equipment?

The playground is getting closer. At the moment we are waiting for final approval from South and East Cork Area Development (SECAD). Once this comes through we can get contractors on site to begin work. FINGERS CROSSED!

Finished Wall

We finally got there!

With a huge effort from some volunteers, we have a repaired wall (with stone facing) in the old graveyard in Killeagh Village.

It looks great, and there are a load of people to thank from those who helped clean up, to those gave their time to those who donated materials (especially the stone!)

In the end we got a prize of €100 for the 'Pride in our Communities' competition, but that was more than spent on materials such as cement, etc.

Below are two pictures of the almost completed wall (it was waiting for a cap to be put on when I took the photos)
