Minister for Health

Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) provides emergency ambulance services in Dublin City and County through a funding support agreement between Dublin City Council and the Health Service Executive (HSE). In the first instance, queries relating to governance and oversight of DFB are a matter for my colleague the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
