A massive thank you to the members of the public who came out to support us during today's strike action, especially those who kindly brought us food, drinks and words of encouragement.

Your generosity and support mean an awful lot to us.

As Maynooth Ambulance Station staff, we take great pride in serving our communities, and seeing that same support returned today was genuinely heartwarming.

Thank you for standing with us. It's very much appreciated! 🚑❤️

Tomorrow (14/10/26), public sector workers across the country will be taking industrial action.

From everyone at
Maynooth Ambulance Station and the National Ambulance Service (NAS) we want to reassure the public that emergency ambulance cover will still be provided, with arrangements in place to protect patient safety.

Nobody working in healthcare takes industrial action lightly. We entered these professions to help people, and that commitment remains unchanged.

We appreciate the public's understanding and support.

To everyone who supported paramedics throughout this process, thank you. Your messages, encouragement, and understanding meant more than you know.

Our members voted to accept the Labour courts pay proposal. While we're pleased to move forward, this situation should never have reached this point. We hope the lessons learned will help ensure healthcare staff are treated with the respect and fairness they deserve in the future.

Thank you again to the public for standing behind us. It was genuinely appreciated from everyone in Maynooth Ambulance Station and National Ambulance Service (NAS)
