In the case to which I referred the ambulance crew who arrived at the scene realised another vehicle needed to be dispatched. They had to wait for the second vehicle to arrive because they were not qualified to administer the medication required. I understand it took in excess of 90 minutes for the second vehicle to arrive from Kilkenny, which is a long distance from Youghal.
