Similarly, men and women are going about their daily business...
- Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Air Ambulance Service Provision (19 Nov 2019)
Gabrielle McFadden: I pay tribute to the Air Corps for the professional and effective service provided by it. However, it is disappointing in this day and age that we have to rely on a helicopter provided by a charity.
