And yes nighttime medivac is privately operated ex DUB, because it was outsourced after the IAC could no longer do it due lack of manpower.
With only one Lear 45 available IAC, there is no back up for unserviceability, maintenance, crew training or other tasks etc, whereas the contracted company has numerous aircraft and crews who rotate through DUB.
