Potentially life-saving defibrillator equipment has been donated to a Co Antrim camogie club in memory of one of its former youth players.
Maggie Black tragically passed away in December 2021 as a result of undiagnosed Addison’s Disease, a condition extremely rare especially in someone of the five-year-old's age. After falling ill at home in rural Glenarm, Maggie waited 70 minutes for the ambulance service to arrive on scene to administer medical assistance.
During the wait for medical aid to reach the Co Antrim coast, the Black family called upon the local fire service for assistance. Attending the scene that morning was Carnlough resident and Watch Commander at Belfast City Airport Fire Service, Martin Campbell.
