Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is the case that a great deal more must be done. I accept that we need to improve our ambulance response times. As individuals who could potentially be the next Minister for Health, I say to Deputies Ó Caoláin and Kelleher that they should be careful about what they promise. It will never be possible to have an ambulance, a squad car and a fire engine at every crossroads in every village in every small town. There will always be instances when these emergency vehicles do not arrive as soon as we would wish.
