Liveline · "I'm actually doing this interview from the back of an ambulance" · 12 May 2026 podcast

There will absolutely be delays for people today, won't there?

All right.

Well, listen, we appreciate that, Mark.

The rest of you, stay with us.

We're on WhatsApp on 087 484 888 and Orla Considine is on the line.

Orla, are you on the picket lines as we speak or where are you?

What's the mood like there amongst your colleagues?

What's the sense there actually on that issue as to whether this is going to be enough?

So you suspect that we might well see that ramped up industrial action the two days and three days and possibly all out strike?

So what then in your mind is the stumbling block?

What's the issue?

So the reforms... Yeah, there's still a bit of daylight in between both sides, it sounds like, you know, the way you describe it.

But what's the view there, Orla, amongst you and your colleagues on the picket line about these warnings to patient safety today that it's been compromised by the industrial action?

Unless half the fleet is sitting around doing nothing all day, which I know is not the case, some people who usually would get a service today won't be.

So who is that?

So they are kind of when you're triaging calls, they're further down the list and they might not be seen today.

Okay.

Noel Kelly is after getting in touch as well.
