Mr. Barry O'Brien:

I would point to the diverse nature of the ambulance service and it is the executive's big fleet user. There different types of vehicles. If one was to bring in every ambulance manager with a base covering Kilkenny or Cork who the following morning was going visit the Dingle Peninsula or the west Cork, one would be scratching one's head thinking about the efficiency of this if first one had to get the person to come into Cork to collect his car and if he came from Clonakilty one might then have to then tell him to turn around and go to Castletownbere. That system is effective not only in terms of the travel and subsistence allowance rate but it represents effective use of a fleet resource.
