Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the failure of the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children to establish an ambulance base for the Mulranny, Achill and Ballycroy areas of County Mayo, considering that the health of people residing in those areas is at serious risk because of the unacceptable two-hour time lapse between when an ambulance is called and when it arrives due to the failure to locate such a base within the recommended 20-mile radius for the safety of the public in the area.
