Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I raised previously the issue of the 93-year-old woman in Dundalk who suffered an injury at home on 10 November. Her son called an ambulance but she had to wait from 5.20 p.m. until an ambulance crew saw her at 9.05 p.m. In fairness, having brought this up, an apology has been given to the woman but the answer I got back on this matter is insufficient. I will be writing to the Taoiseach and have already written to the HSE about this because I got no answers on how many crews and vehicles were operating that day and whether we have a system that is fit for purpose and which can provide the ambulance service that is required by our people.
