It wasn't temple children's Hospital, it was The Matter Hospital.

​@STHFGDBY no, this was temple Street.. the matter is a couple of junctions up the road from here.

Thanks for watching and for the comment. It is always interesting to hear how things like this are done in other countries. ^ JJ

@@emergencyservicesnews I notice the drivers get out of the way of the police much more than when it's an ambulance alone.

@@fionnmaccumhaill3257 this is in Ireland kid . Drivers actually respect all emergency services

Except the one bus, that just kept trundling along....

Well said squirrel!! Remember everyone one day it could be your relatives x

And it takes a hell of a lot of practice to do this. We used to have a program on life on the road in the past, with multiple special episodes about the training officers that deal with this in The Netherlands, which showed how hard it is to get everyone's attention, get them to do what you want and how hard it is to keep your attention on the ambulance as well: in training they would usually stop the ambulance at some point to perform 'critical care'. The officers' job would be to spot this in time and hold position before returning to clearing a path for the ambulance. Normal officers in The Netherlands don't get this training though, only the Military Police and officers from the The Hague region.

Like an orchestra, all in harmony and all knew what others were going to do next. Not your average driver. It must take years to be that competent. Hope the little hero lived to play another day.

Not only you mate, me to

No, I'm a former firefighter and I was just thinking that was incredibly perfect. Everyone is protected (pedestrians, car, etc...) I am impressed by such great speed and efficiency. (except the shaking of the ambulance, even if there is an emergency). Very Good Job...

No me too

I've seen French police rididng their bikes at full speed and waving both arms to direct and stop the traffic

While I didn't require an escort, I still owe my life to the emergency services 2 times. At 3 years old I suffered a kidney infection after a bladder infection crawled up to them, causing my body to slowly poison itself. After arriving at the hospital, some of the first checks they did gave a prediction of how close I had been to death: my mom having called 1-2 minutes later would've resulted in me dying while on the way to hospital. About a year later my body tried something similar and I had to be rushed to hospital again, this time at a much lower speed (30-40 km/h, something my mom to this day recalls as one of the weirdest experiences ever, given how slow it was going). The reason for this speed was that the ambulance crew managed to get a small tube not typically meant for supplying oxygen in between my seriously infected tonsils, to avoid having to perform a tracheoctomy (where they cut open your breathing tube below your vocal chords). This tube could easily slip out due to vibrations and shocks, so they decided to take things slow. Both of those experiences, even without me being aware of what was going on (though with the second one I was conscious, and the paramedic calmed me down by showing all the things in the ambulance to distract me from the fact I was having trouble breathing) are the reason I always get angry when I hear people lashing out or become aggressive against paramedics, police, and firefighters.

Pretty sure the new one has pad on the roof, however the rescue helicopters in ireland are MASSIVE so its not practical to land on the roof.. However the grounds od kilmainham hospital is very close by..

That was a rescue chopper not an air ambulance, the patient needed to have medical attention inside the road ambulance and as already pointed out that chopper is too big for a normal landing pad, such landings have been attempted before with these big choppers with lethal results to all onboard which is another reason they are not used for direct transport to hospitals.

The current children’s hospital is temple street in the middle of the city, 100’s of years old. The new one will have on I believe.

I'm not expert but the coast guard helicopter looks a lot bigger than a normal air ambulance.

@@DaChaGee it is indeed, it is not an air ambulance but a rescue helicopter with limited medical care, this chopper has the sole purpose of getting people out of danger but not medical treatment.

If you didn’t breathe, you most likely are dead now…

Yep. Especially glad to see they give clear instructions that don't interfere with those just given by other officers, they don't swerve like idiots and especially don't slam on the bonnets of cars like I saw in a video from the French police doing this. I just hope that sometime they will experience this from within the back of the ambulance: the VTB-team (VerkeersTechnische Begeleiding, Technical Traffic Support) team from the The Hague police in The Netherlands, explicitly avoid having the motors keep playing catch up: the ride is stressful enough for the person in the back, having sirens and motorcycles zooming past every junction again and again adds a lot of extra stress to that experience. So they always make sure the motor-officer closest to the ambulance starts driving again as soon when they come within a short distance.

Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment 🙌 ^ JJ

Yes they are

🫡🙌

Like a hot knife through butter, there's motorcyclists and traffic police motorcyclists, they defy the laws of gravity, such a rare sight in the UK due to budget cuts ( f&_£ing Tories budget cuts) but when you see one even just casually gliding along you instinctively know your arse is being watched and if the 💩hits the fan it's highly unlikely you'll get away, in Lincolnshire and Humberside they had a unmarked Honda Blackbird.... with a superior machine and equally trained rider 99% of traffic offenders never got away as for the 1% a knock on your door and CCTV footage secured your conviction.

too right! Thanks for watching! ^ JJ

In Ireland Gardai control traffic if a garda directs you into a bus lane you are Entitled to be there, dare anyone tell you different they are the ones in trouble, person, council, etc

This is actually specifically allowed for in Irish law. Subsection B below applies in this case. Basically any driver is exempt from all road traffic laws, with the exception of dangerous driving and driving while intoxicated while under instruction of a garda. 87.- (1) Requirements under the Road Traffic Acts 1961 to 2010 relating to vehicles and requirements, restrictions and prohibitions relating to the driving and use of vehicles, other than those provided under sections 49, 50, 51A, 52 and 53 of the Principal Act, sections 12, 13 and 15 of the Act of 1994 and sections 4 , 5 , 12 and 14 of this Act, do not apply to- (a) the driving or use by a member of the Garda Síochána, an ambulance service or a fire brigade of a fire authority (within the meaning of the Fire Services Act 1981 ) of a vehicle in the performance of the duties of that member, or (b) a person driving or using a vehicle under the direction of a member of the Garda Síochána, where such use does not endanger the safety of road users.

You can't be serious. No helipad? In the most congested part of Dublin. Brilliant

We agree!

HI Wayne, thanks for the comment and thanks for being a member of our channel :-) We appreciate it! ^ JJ

The ambulance in the video is NAS not DFB.

Wrong, the ambulance is NAS and DFB provide ground cover for the helicopter as it lands.

That is correct - the hospital concerned does not have a helipad 🙌 thanks for watching 👍
