No the ERU is now. Along with the ARW as backup

The ERU provide the heavily armed element to SDU, The SDU are the people that follow the counter terrorism leads.

5 Ambulances arrived to a garda chase crash at the end of our lane, along with numerous squad cars and vans, and fire brigades and recovery vehicles. Never saw as many flashing blue lights in 1 place

They follow them but can't react to them unless engaged directly during a surveillance. Why do you think the ARU and ERU are with them at the checkpoints or when they search an area.

Only the ERU or ARW will engage in such a situation. With ourselves giving direct support or providing a cordon.

It's the ARU that provides the armed element to the SDU.

The ERU is a different beast altogether. Something nearly on par with us.

I had a traffic accident a number of years ago and the ambulance was very swift, about 15 minutes.
My eldest took ill when she was seven and we needed an ambulance, they must have set off when I was on the phone given how soon they arrived, the operator stayed on the phone and gave me the locations of local AEDs and how to use on a child.

The night my dad died the ambulance was there in 20 minutes at 2am on a Saturday night.

I think there are occasional problems where ambulances are slow to come out and that's terrible but my own personal experience is that it's a very professional service and considering the rural nature of our country their response times are as you would expect.
If I choose to live 40 minutes from the nearest hospital I can hardly expect an ambulance in 10 minutes !!

Also comparing the response and availability of ambulances in a major urban area to rural Ireland is senseless, I expect the population of Manchester is in excess of 2.5million and so will have the associated resources of half of Ireland, all in one city, hardly comparable.

Good for you Brian and I mean that.

There's people have died in wexford town for the want of an ambulance when the wexford hospital ambulance had to go and provide cover for Ardkeen in Waterford.

Don't live in wexford.

It'll take something like that to show up the faults in the system

They should do an unannounced mock exercise and see how they get on.

Only way to properly show up any faults.

Reggie your lot would be well used to those.

The reasons there's no ambulances is that there all in the hospitals A&e with patients from nursing homes cos thers no docs in nursing homes.
Have seen them waiting to hand over patient for over two hours as the A&e departments are full, if they get a call and still haven't handed over the patient they can't go and radio the next available ambulance which is mad if you ask me even if there only 5 mins away.

Edit wrong man I quoted sorry Brian

It's only pedantics.
But i'm not sure. It said in the article it was a road traffic accident.
The Guards would be calling it a RTA anyway.

Makes no difference really.

Whats this 'we' craic Reggie. You part of the committee making all the changes. Boaty is right

kollegeknight · 24-05-2017 06:52AM

Back to farming.

I've a saler (5 star) and a limo x (3/4 star). No h have not calved yet. Thought they were due in April but must have broke. Do I let them calf, sell them at 5 months with calf at foot or do I sell them in calf now or do I fatten and sell in spring before weanlings are out.

I have zero interest in cattle calving too late. It's a legacy issue from the time dad got sick- we sold the early calvers to make more money during his illness/ to cover costs.

mate of mine worked as a paramedic in NI during the troubles, he told me he hardened to the shootings, road fatalities, sucidies etc, but when they got a call to a bomb, he used to go rigid, he'd never know what to expect.

I can only imagine! I got caught up in an 'incident' in Paris back in 1995 and the things I saw will never leave me!
