Ireland’s only charity-funded air ambulance is engaging with government on securing state funding.

The Irish Community Rapid Response (ICRR), which runs the life-saving service from its aerodrome in north Cork, is also talking to regional politicians about how it can access state funding streams in the same way that similar air ambulances services in the UK and Northern Ireland do.
