Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
1380. Deputy Paul McAuliffe asked the Minister for Health the number of court cases pending against the Dublin Fire Brigade and the National Ambulance Service relating to the ambulance service it provides; and if he will provide any details as to the nature of the incidents they relate to. [16465/23]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) provides ambulance services in the Dublin region under statutory powers exercised by Dublin City Council (DCC) under authority of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
In the first instance, all queries pertaining to court cases pending against DFB or DCC are a matter for these organisations.
In regard to court cases pending against the National Ambulance Service (NAS), I have asked the Health Service Executive (HSE) to respond to the Deputy directly with any pertinent information that it might have on this matter.
