Mr. Robert Morton:

I thank the Deputy for the question. Tuam has two crews around the clock. It is often the case that there may be spare vehicles based at the location. The perception might be that the crews are available but they may not actually be on duty at all. The two existing crews at that location may be deployed to other calls. They could be turning around at, for example, GUH in Galway. What NEOC will do is it will deploy the nearest available crew. That could be Loughrea, for example. It could be a crew from Galway or Loughglynn, wherever the nearest available crew is. Quite often, you will see vehicles parked at stations but they are off-duty vehicles, or vehicles available for a night crew.
