I thank the Chair for facilitating me and I thank our guests for their presence. As others have, I thank them for all the work they have done, both seen and unseen, over the past year and a half, and for the essential emergency service they provide. Mr. Kenny spoke about Slea Head, an area I know intimately because my mother was from Ballyferriter. The idea that an ambulance would have to come from Castletownbere to Slea Head is pretty shocking.

I thank Mr. Kenny for his presentation. He has already answered most of the questions I was going to ask but there might be one or two that have not yet been answered. How effective does Mr. Kenny think a dispatch system is if it sends crews on a call from Donegal to Tipperary?
