Serious question about that airport police Isuzu, did it come from the same stock as the Gardaí motorway jeeps? the fittings on the back look identical.

[An Udaras]

Yes it has to have, exact same spec by looking at it bar some smell features I.e radios,LEDs & an amber beacon for operating on the airfield etc :-) the Fire service in cork airport have the same model too in Red

Has that been in court yet?

From the thread:

It looks like the Cork Airport Fire Isuzu was fitted out the same, in fact the reg plates are pretty near, would they all have been part of the same bid - does the OPW handle bulk buying like that?

... Beaten to it (by a few hours)

In the case of the Airport Police & Fire Rescue Service the DAA make all the purchases not the OPW the Cork lads must have been impressed by the Garda models and decided to add them to their fleet?

Are they from the Wilker yard?

From Harris Izuzu on the Naas Road.

What's the reasoning behind an 'unmarked' ambulance?! So the casualties don't notice you coming??

I can understand a doctor or high ranking HSE official having discreet blues on their car but the one posted today looks like a bolted on light bar?

The grill lights and lightbar were professionally fitted, had a light control box on the dash. What I found strangest was the TN reg.

I presume it's just a private doctors car who went and got them fitted. Looks to be the same model lightbar as the Gardaí use.

Just wondering the actual legality of blue lights in this case.......should they be green if its a doctor......anyone know?

Can open, worms everywhere. Legally there should be no lights on it. But I feel a debate coming on...

Just passed by this car again, didn't get a pic, it now has green and yellow battenburg markings and boot chevrons on it. No service markings but it looks more like an official vehicle now.

I wouldn't think its an official NAS vehicle. If your working, might be an interesting one to stop and question.
