The awards ceremony took place in Dublin.
Kildare’s Zoey Coffey, from Clane, is the youngest member of the Irish Red Cross.
The four-year-old received a special mention in the Young Humanitarian of the Year award in the annual Irish Red Cross Humanitarian Awards for teaching her classmates and family how to do CPR.
Mum, Lisa, and Dad, Adrian, are both long term Irish Red Cross volunteers, and actually met while volunteering for the organization, so Zoey was signed up as a member in their local branch in Clane, Co. Kildare, as soon as she became eligible when she turned four.
Speaking of the importance of learning CPR, Lisa stresses that people are never too young – or too old – to learn.
“I think for kids it’s like them learning a language, it becomes second nature to them. Then, if something happens, it’s not like ‘Oh my god, this thing is happening and I don’t know what to do’, they know what’s happening and how to fix it,” she insisted.
Historian Catherine Corless has received an Irish Red Cross Lifetime Achievement Award at a ceremony in Dublin.
It’s for her research on the death and burial of hundreds of children at the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, Co Galway.
The campaigner has said it took international exposure to concentrate government minds.
