Defibrillator to be installed at Lurgan Bank of Ireland
An external defibrillator unit is going to be installed to the front of the Bank of Ireland branch at 13 Market Street in Lurgan.
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council Planning officers explained in their report: “The unit will be yellow in colour, with green signage panels.
“Particular care has been taken in choosing the location of the defibrillator unit, which will be available to be used in emergency situations by members of the general public.”
Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are compact, portable, easy to use, safe and very effective.
The agent’s Design & Access Statement explains that the provision of the life-saving device is part of a wider policy by the bank to install defibrillators in appropriate locations: “As part of the Bank of Ireland’s roll-out for the installation of external emergency defibrillators for use by the general public, the Lurgan Bank of Ireland premises has been identified for the proposed installation of this medical emergency unit.”
