The National Ambulance Service has presented a 'Courage & Bravery Award' to a child from Wexford town who saved a family member's life.
12-year-old Scoil Mhuire Wexford pupil Kelsey Doyle took immediate action on the morning of her confirmation by contacting emergency services and administering life-saving CPR.
