Following the recent controversy on delayed ambulance response times in the Drogheda/Dundalk region, Sinn Fein Leader, Gerry Adams T.D. requested a meeting with NASRA to discuss this and wider issues facing the national ambulance service.

NASRA National Secretary, Tony Gregg met with Deputy Adams in the Dail last week to brief him on current issues facing the service and front line paramedics.

Mr Adams is to raise a number of these issues with the Health Minister in the coming weeks. NASRA hopes to meet with other Opposition parties in the run up to the General Election.
