The marching season is up and running. I hope that everything will work out in the coming weeks and that there will not be a vacuum that could let things get out of hand. A lot of good work has been done by the communities on all sides to ensure that this will not be the case.

Everybody is talking about ambulance services. We absolutely need more ambulances in rural areas. I want to highlight that the air ambulance located in Athlone has saved dozens of lives. We need to expand on that and I certainly feel that we can.
