LISTEN: Kilkenny phone boxes to be transformed into 'life saving' containers

Old telephone boxes are being transformed in Kilkenny.

A campaign has been launched to use the old boxes as storage containers for defibrillators in the hope of saving lives.

Heart of Kilkenny is an initiative which first started in Killarney by Damien Baker with the hope of rolling it out across Ireland.

Derek Devoy is the founder of Heart of Kilkenny.

“At the moment in Kilkenny if you need a defibrillator after 6pm you won't get one.

"They're all locked in buildings and most of them close at 5pm.

"This will be available 24 hours all over the city."
