Emergency ambulance services in Dublin are primarily provided by the Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) through an arrangement between Dublin City Council and the HSE. In the first instance, queries relating to the DFB's ambulance service are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

The HSE's National Ambulance Service (NAS) also provides some emergency capacity within the greater Dublin area, where required. I have, therefore, asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy with any further pertinent detail that it may have in regard to NAS paramedic resources serving the Dublin area.
