These service gaps, in place since a 2012 HSE shift change, have left residents reliant on emergency resources from elsewhere in the county or even further afield.
A long-awaited upgrade to emergency medical services in Baltinglass is set to take effect later this year, with the confirmation that 24/7 ambulance coverage will be operational by the third quarter of 2025.
