Milltown Defibrillator Group was set up in 2008 to provide ongoing 3-minute access to a defibrillator unit to every citizen in the Milltown (Co. Galway) parish, supported by free CPR and AED training.

Milltown resident and CPR/AED trainer Breda Hyland came into the Good Morning Show studio to talk to host Paul Halligan, and stand-in co-host Ed Coulson, about the history of the group and its activities.

On Friday 3rd May, an exhibition opened in the Town Hall studio, showcasing art created by students of Mount St Michael Secondary School as part of a programme of workshops on sexual health, relationships and consent. The programme was funded by the Community Foundation for Ireland via its Women’s Fund.

It was coordinated by Nuala Gilligan of the Family Resource Centre, and facilitated by Grace McGee of Tacú in Ballinrobe with help from Chloe Horan McDonagh, a 3rd Year social care student.

Community artist Lanna Heyrman worked with the students to create a visual representation of what they had learned, and what they wanted to communicate about it. The exhibition was officially opened by health advocate (and former Dragon’s Den contestant) Olive O’Connor.

In this report, Ed Coulson talks to those involved, including the students, on their experience of the project, and the art that emerged from it.
