I saw a black Hyundai Santa Fe with a Led light bar( like the ones emergency vehicles have) on top which was a solid blue light, driving in the bus lane on the N11 today.
Anyone seen it before?

re. Capri's pic of the Pajero

That model of Pajero has essentially been around since 1999, with a minor facelift in 2006. Its underpinnings are still very much that of the original. I'd say there was a big discount on it more than anything else..

That Pajero will eventually be fully marked up for traffic corps. Looks cool with the tinted windows though

Fairly sure I've a picture of it. I'll have a look for it. It's an old one.

I have seen that Skoda Yeti over in UCD grounds several times over the last few months, will try to get a picture next time it's there.

Remember a few years back, Skoda had an Yeti & Octavia marked up as emergency vehicles & they moved from dealership to dealership, they looked very well.

This was up at Vincent's Hospital.

In relation to Wicklow Rapid Response here is an extract from an article on their launch;

Staffed by volunteer Doctor David Menzies who is a Consultant in Emergency Medicine at St. Vincent’s University Hospital. He also has an academic commitment to the Paramedic and Advanced Paramedic Training Programmes at University College Dublin Centre for Emergency Medical Science in partnership with the National Ambulance Service. Dr Menzies responds in his own time from home and also from work when circumstances allow.

Wicklow News

I believe that he carried out this service long before the set up of the Community Rapid Response service, like the WCRR. I had seen the black jeep in Vincent's a couple of times and it has a few radios on board.

There is also a Dublin Rapid Response based out of a GP service in D8. They use the old ECRR Volvo estate. The WCRR Hilux was also passed on to another group.

I have seen the Yeti parked on Greenfield Park, which is close to a back gate of UCD, no idea where is it there but I have seen it on more than one occasion

Greenfield Pk is near the UCD Health Science building where he would teach. Probably quicker to run to the car there than try drive it out of UCD especially if the through road is closed.
