Lifeline for ambulance service as profits return

High-profile mortgage debt campaigner David Hall has shared a pot of almost €800,000 in pay and rent from his private ambulance firm over the past two years.

New accounts filed by Hall’s Lifeline Ambulance Service Ltd show it was back in the black last year, recording profits of €126,743 following losses of €140,522 in 2012 — a positive swing of €267,265.

This followed the Leixlip-headquartered firm increasing its gross profit by more than €440,000, or 10%, to €4.9m in the 12 months to the end of June 2013.
