Topical Issue Debate: Ambulance Service Provision (8 Oct 2013)

Peadar Tóibín: Ours is, to a certain extent, a disjointed conversation, Minister. There is no doubt that resource efficiencies are needed. I support efficiencies in any manner they can be procured as long as they do not have a negative effect on patients. I have requested from the Minister for Health, HIQA, the Health Information and Quality Authority, and the National Ambulance Service on previous...

It was decided earlier this year that just two ambulances would be provided on two days of the week, Tuesday and Friday. I...

Peadar Tóibín: I refer to the previous statement the Taoiseach made in regard to the guidelines on wind energy and the environmental assessment.

Will the Taoiseach commit to publishing the...

Peadar Tóibín: Ní bhaineann an cheist atá agam leis na tograí atá luaite ag na finnéithe. Faoi láthair tá Gaelscoil amháin againn san Uaimh, ach tá sé deacair cur leis an scoil sin.
