Restart a Heart Day

Restart a Heart Day today 16 October 2026 helps to raise awareness of cardiac arrest and supports people to learn CPR, giving them the skills and confidence needed to save a life.

The chances of surviving a cardiac arrest are significantly increased if a defibrillator is used. For every minute without CPR and defibrillation, the chance of survival reduces by up to 10%

Less than 1 in 10 survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and 80% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home 🏠

With the power of bystander CPR, you can help make a difference! By acting quickly in those critical moments before emergency services arrive, you have the potential to save lives.

Learn CPR, join a Community First Responder group near you and learn these life saving skills. Check out becomeacfr.ie for information on a resource in your location.

We're experiencing a high volume of emergency calls this evening (Friday 9 October).

Our incredible ambulance crews, call-takers and support staff are working around the clock to respond to those who need us most.

You can help by only calling in a real emergency. If your condition is not life-threatening, consider contacting your GP, local pharmacy, GP Out of Hours service or attending an Injury Unit where appropriate.

If you do need to call 999 or 112, please stay calm, answer the call taker's questions and follow any instructions they provide. This helps us get the right care to the right patient as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as our teams continue to provide emergency care across the country.

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of an inspirational man, Fr John Carroll. Fr Carroll was one of the most selfless and dedicated men, his compassion kindness and unwavering devotion to others nothing short of extraordinary.

He treated everyone he met with the same warmth, dignity and respect never looking at who they were, but simply at the person needing care, comfort or a kind word. His dedication to his calling was truly remarkable.

Fr Carroll will be sadly missed by all of us at Sligo Ambulace Station. May his gentle and kind soul Rest in Peace.
