FF
what do you mean by nearly completely!!The coastguard already run three of the four SAR bases,and the S-61N in sligo is a civie aircraft leased to either the DOD or DOM and maintained by civie engineers. If that's not nearly completely, I don't know what is. '> :'>

The hanger at Finner is not big enough for the S-61,so that is certainly one of the reasons.As for the helipad at Letterkenny, its well able to accomadate the 61. In fact I would say its one of the better pads in the country.
Hope this is of some help. '>

Irish Air Corps / 24hr Air Ambulance service

« on: October 16, 2003, 04:50:11 pm »

A feasibility study has been carried out to establish an all island air ambulance service (do not know whether that is including HEMS), to include 4 helis based strategically, belfast, dublin, cork and galway  and provided by a private contractor.

from what i have heard the report has looked very favourably at establishing this service and are in the process of trying to find funds and hopefully will be implemented in conunction with what The Hanley report has advised (see todays newspapers re the Hanley report) on restructing the health service.
