In the programme for Government, in which the Taoiseach was involved, there is a commitment to a review of the air ambulance service across the country in light of very slow response times in some areas, especially the west. The Government is halfway through the term of its confidence and supply agreement. Will it be at the end of that term or at another stage that the Government will honour this commitment? Is there any commitment at all?

If I recall correctly, that commitment is in the programme for Government, not the confidence and supply agreement. We are only about 20% of the way through the commitments of our programme for Government, which runs for five years. I do not believe the review has started yet but we will certainly do it. I had the experience of spending a few hours travelling with the air ambulance service as Minister for Health. It is a service that saves lives because it gets people to the right hospital quickly, particularly if there is major trauma, a heart attack or another condition requiring a certain form of treatment. It is something we are very committed to extending in the years ahead.
