Fire brigade not sole provider of ambulances

I WISH to draw attention to a number of inaccuracies in Paul Kinsella’s letter (Irish Examiner, October 4) concerning the provision of ambulance services for Dublin city and county.

Fire brigade not sole provider of ambulances

Firstly, Mr Kinsella is incorrect in his assertion that Dublin City Fire Brigade is the sole provider of ambulances for the Dublin area.

The Health Service Executive, under the auspices of the Eastern Region Ambulance Service (ERAS), has statutory responsibility for the provision of ambulance services in the eastern region which encompasses Wicklow, Kildare and Dublin.
