Well it could be a bad accident or something and after all this is a Waterford city forum so it's generally Waterford city stuff people would like to know or talk about..

Heard sirens for approx 2-5 times a day every day, anyone know what happened?

I hear them most days as I happen to live near the ORR and that's the route most ambulances take cos there is a big hospital at the end of it. Funny that!

I know, its just morbid curiosity but it gets a bit silly when there is a thread or 2 every week asking the same question.

Had an argument (of sorts) with the auld lad bout this. He says ambulances are not allowed to use the ORR when bringing someone to the hospital as there is no where the driver could safely pull in if anything happened the patient in the back. They have to use inner ring rd etc.
I argued that the spin would only be a couple of mins on the ORR compared to what it would take on the other routes.

Anyone one else hear this or is the auld lad full of siht as usual :-)

surely its easier to pull in ot the ORR than any other crappy road that only has one lane and a footpath??

The ambulances use the ORR when bringing patients to A&E

I saw an aeroplane up in the sky earlier, looked like it was in a rush.
Anyone know where it was going?
