    Scary stuff if you happen to need an ambulance or fire brigade in those hours..
    I have a family member with Epilepsy and frequent seizures and had to rely on the Swords fire station on one occasion, so I am quite stressed about this.
    And apparently today 08/09/12 between the hours of 7am-7pm there is also no crew as management refusing to cover sick leave..
    How many more cutbacks are we expected to endure..

    Typical frontline cuts when its the upper management levels and their salaries that need culling... but as its the upper management levels making these poxy decisions, im not surprised... turkeys wont vote for christmas and all that

    Shouldn't the title of this thread be changed? It's the HSE ambulance cover that is being affected, not Dublin Fire Brigade.
