Ambulance waiting times not meeting demand in Donegal



The plight of ambulance services in south west Donegal has been raised on the floor of the Dáil.

Lengthy waiting times coupled with a severe staff shortage are said to be just two of the issues impacting the service.

Earlier this year, figures showed ambulances nationally, on average, took over an hour to arrive at high priority calls 500 times in the first six months of 2024.

Donegal Deputy Thomas Pringle says the current service as it stands, does not meet the demand.
