Tá muintir Chonamara ag fanacht le blianta i gcomhair sheirbhís otharchairr chuí. Tá a fhios againn ar fad cé chomh tábhachtach is atá seirbhís otharchairr agus muid i gcás éigeandála. Níor chóir go mbeadh aon duine ná pobal gan an tseirbhís seo. Bhí cruinniú againn cúpla mí ó shin, áit a ndúradh go mbeadh tuairisc déanta. Níl sé seo déanta go fóill. Tá a fhios agam go raibh go leor cruinnithe ann thar na blianta ach teastaíonn gníomh anois.

The people of Conamara have been waiting for years for an adequate ambulance service. We all know the importance of an ambulance in an emergency. Nobody should be left without such a service. We had a meeting some months ago when we were told a report would be done but it has not yet been submitted. I know there have been many meetings over the years. What we need now is not more meetings but action. I would like to hear from the Minister of State about that.
