A brand new automated external defibrillator (AED) has been installed at Thomastown National School in Golden.
The defibrillator is the product of an immense fundraising effort from school principle Marie Donovan, as well as parents of the pupils attending the Tipperary primary school.
An AED is a life-saving portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac events and is able to treat them through defibrillation.
