🚑Please remember that you should only call 112 or 999 in an emergency. Being brought to hospital by ambulance will not get you seen any quicker once there.

Please help us to keep ambulances available for life threatening emergencies.

With freezing temperatures expected to last for the next few days, it’s important to take care of yourself and others.

It can be difficult to get around in cold weather. The golden rule is to drive, cycle or walk with extreme care and caution and expect the unexpected.

Look after yourself and care for others if using drugs tonight.

Know the signs of an emergency and don't be afraid to get help if you or a friend become unwell after using drugs.

Go straight to the ED or call 999 or 112 if you suspect an overdose.

A Far right Cllr put up election poster outside St Aidan’s school in Dublin and the kids made up their own banner in retaliation.

Imagine school kids reminding you no need to be a hateful vile racist scumbag.

Big up to those kids ! 💚
