December
Sixty seconds from death.
A Northside man describes how, with the help of two others, he saved the life of a 20-year-old who went into cardiac arrest on an all weather football pitch.
Ray Stears, a certified first aider who runs Portmarnock Judo Club, was in the bar of the Portmarnock Sports and Leisure Centre (PSLC) at around 10pm on December 1 when the dramatic incident unfolded.
“I would highly recommend that people do a first aid course and learn CPR and how to use a defibrillator”, says Mr Stars.
