Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Yes. I accept that it is not perfect and that there are serious issues, but they are being addressed by the Minister. I think the Deputy accepts that a €5.4 million increase in the ambulance budget next year is important. That is recognised by the Minister and it is now in place. Some 50 replacement ambulances will be provided. These are brand new ambulances. I had an opportunity quite recently to deal with a private company on the issue of a number of new ambulances and their facilities are absolutely first class.
