A Donegal Senator is calling for one of four new government helicopters to be based in Finner Camp.

 

 

Senator Michael Boyle says a local air ambulance could cut response times across the county and save lives.

 

 

He highlighted Donegal’s size and rural challenges, urging the government to treat the county as a special case.

 

 

The Senator also praised the Defence Forces and Coast Guard for past lifesaving patient transfers across Donegal.
