Lisa Chambers (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Every citizen in this State should have access to proper and sufficient ambulance cover. HIQA requires that an ambulance respond to a life-threatening incident within seven minutes and 59 seconds. In the area of south Mayo it is physically impossible for an ambulance to get from Castlebar, the nearest base, to Ballinrobe and surrounding areas. There has been an ongoing campaign for a permanent, fully staffed ambulance base in Ballinrobe to service the south Mayo area. Will the Taoiseach give a commitment that he will endeavour to get this organised and delivered without delay?
