The damaged defibrillator on Ashe Street.
TRALEE Community Responders has launched a fundraiser after their defibrillator on Ashe Street was vandalised earlier this week.
In a post on their Facebook page, they stated there is some damage which will take some time to repair and it has been taken out of service.
“This is very upsetting news for us as we are trying to get back up and running,” read the post. “We have very limited money as we rely on donations and will have to spend considerable money to get us back up and running due to COVID-19.

“This money now has to be taken to repair the damage which further delays us going back responding alongside the National Ambulance Service to Cardiac Arrest call-outs.”
They have now initiated a gofundme page (which can be accessed by clicking here) to help with the cost of repairing it or replacing the defibrillator.
Donation money will also be used to purchase the necessary medical equipment to get us back responding to call-outs for the people of Tralee.
Some of the equipment includes Defibrillator Pads, Defibrillator Batteries, Training equipment, COVID-19 cleaning supplies.
