Galway University Hospital has been very busy this week with numerous heli arrivals and departures. It might be the busiest heli-pad in the country at the moment.

There have been five movements there today already. An S-92 and AW139 at around 1am this morning and an S-61 and 2 X AW139s this afternoon. The Air Ambulance AW139 is a daily visitor here in Galway and it seems the Air Ambulance Service is very successful after a shaky start. I understand the trial period for the service is over soon and the government have now to decide whether to go full-time with the service or, perhaps unlikely, abandon the service.
