Comhairle Uladh Ulster Council G.A.A
Comhairle Uladh Ulster Council G.A.A. 9th March 2021 Re: BHF CPR & Defibrillator Training Programme A chairde, Ulster GAA have been engaged with CPR and Defibrillator training programmes for over 10 years, with great success. We have worked with a number of service providers in this important area of work, including the British Heart Foundation. Most recently we have been involved in the promotion and roll-out of “Call Push Rescue” training to our youth members with the assistance of BHF. BHF are seeking the GAA community’s support in making it mandatory that such life-saving training is made compulsory in schools, so that survival rates for people in our community suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest are improved to the levels of other countries where this training is rolled-out in schools. Please see a plea from Fearghal McKinney from BHF attached which outlines how the GAA can make their voice heard on this important issue. Please share this letter, and our social media posts on this matter with your members asking that they take a few short minutes to complete the online survey. Yours in Sport, Is mise, lea meas, Brian Mac Fhíobhuí Rúnaí/Chief Executive Officer CLG Comhairle Uladh Brian Mac Fhíobhuí, Rúnaí, Comhairle Uladh, 8-10 Sráid an Mhargaidh, Ard Mhacha 8-10 Market Street, Armagh, BT61 7BX Tel: 028 (048) 37521900 Email: [email protected] Web: www.ulster.gaa.ie Dear friends We're asking for your support to fill in a short consultation survey on making CPR training and defibrillator awareness compulsory in schools in Northern Ireland. -

The Committee is specifically considering how the common frameworks programme will operate, how it will relate to other initiatives and how it could be reviewed and improved for the future. It will also look at the role of parliamentary scrutiny across the UK. Hopefully we can link up with the members of that Committee now, if the communications team can add everybody in. There are quite a number to add in there. If everyone who is on StarLeaf is able to mute themselves, they will not be competing to be seen on the main screen. Perhaps Elizabeth Andrews will unmute herself, if she is on. Baroness Andrews (Chair, House of Lords Common Frameworks Scrutiny Committee): Hello, Mr McGrath. -

2Declaration European Call for Democracy In
1 DECLARATION: European Call for Democracy in Catalonia 20th of December 2017 We, members of Parliaments in European countries, express our deepest concern regarding the current situation in Catalonia. In light of the dismissal of the democratically elected Catalan government and the later imprisonment of ministers and leaders of civil society organizations, we call on the Spanish government to cease in this excessive use of force. Furthermore, we call on the Spanish government and on the international society to ensure the upcoming election for the regional Parliament in Catalonia be held in a democratic manner free from undue interference from the Spanish government. We express our wish that the imprisoned minister and leaders of civil society organizations be released and we urge the Spanish government to avoid further use of force and engage in political dialogue with the regional government elected by the Catalans.
