Jody Keenan: Newry mum's desperate attempt to save daughter as she waited on ambulance

The mother of a 39-year-old who died waiting on an ambulance desperately attempted to save her life by performing CPR with a call handler.

Jody Keenan, 39, had met friends for a night out in Newry on Saturday night, before taking ill on her way home.

Her friends phoned 999, but they were told there would be a wait for crews to arrive as "the only crew available was in Belfast", with the ambulance arriving 45 minutes after the call.
