I welcome the Minister and thank him for being here. He mentioned in his opening statement the work undertaken around ambulance services and optimising those. At a committee meeting recently we heard from both the Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service, NAS, itself that they were engaged in a task and finish group and that there were some issues around phone services and technology between the two groups. Is there work being done on this? At the session itself we were given to understand that there would be a new set of technology available to the NAS in the second quarter of this year and are we still on time for that?
