I do not have a detailed update as to how the negotiations are going but as the Deputy will be aware there are ongoing talks between the HSE, the National Ambulance Service, Dublin Fire Brigade, Dublin City Council and the Department of Health to try to resolve the situation in Dublin. The current situation in Dublin is not sustainable. It is the only part of the country where we cannot guarantee a patient will be allocated the nearest ambulance. There is a live patient safety risk, one that has been going on for many years and in my opinion it needs to be resolved urgently.
