I have got all this information anyway. The local gardaí were obliged to call on the fire brigade to provide assistance. It was on call - not on duty - and came to the scene and provided assistance. However, my point is these are not merely isolated incidents. As people in east Cork have no confidence in the ambulance service at present, does the Minister intend to conduct a review of the reconfiguration of that service there? Ms Laverne McGuinness mentioned that €23 million is being invested in a control system, which is most welcome, and money is being invested in more ambulances. However, will any of them be deployed in the east Cork area? I welcome the HSE's commissioning of a formal review into the manner in which the 999 call was received in Midleton and that a liaison officer has been provided for the family, but these are not merely isolated instances. There have been other instances in the east Cork area and that is the reason people there have no confidence in the service at present,
