 Ireland's largest free stethoscope check will be taking place in Eyre Square tomorrow

The event will be organised by Irish heart and stroke charity Croí to mark the start of International Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week.

International Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week runs from tomorrow until Sunday the 18th of September with Croi leading the week in Ireland.

Statistics show that heart valve disease affects 1 in 8 people over the age of 65.
