An event is taking place tomorrow in appreciation of the heroic work carried out by locals during a drowning incident at Emy Lough last month.
A Co Tyrone teenager who has since made a full recovery was left in critical condition after he came into in difficulty when swimming at the popular lough in Emyvale.
Carol McGirl from Glaslough is the managing director of Pro-Training which offers people first aid training in emergency situations.
Carol complimented the fist responders and local people who were scene at Emy Lough and who helped save the young boys life that day, adding that they too will attend tomorrow's event at the M-Tek 1 Building at Knockaconny.
The local woman said this event is to acknowledge the heroic actions of local on that day, adding that it's "gold dust" to have such skills.
The free training event which will take place from 6:30pm to 8pm will offer people of all ages the opportunity to learn CPR.
Speaking to Northern Sound, Carol explained: "It's bad enough coming across a scene or emergency situation, but it's even worse to come across an emergency and not know what to do. Having to walk away and deal with that for the rest of your life has both a mental and physical impact."
The free CPR training course will be taking place in Monaghan tomorrow evening from 6:30pm to 8pm.
Carol McGirl has encouraged people of all ages to come along and learn practical skills that could help save a life when every second counts:
