'None of the ambulances could leave and respond to other 999 calls across the region'

The Coast Guard's Rescue 116 helicopter transported the casualty to Beaumont Hospital.

Paudge Connolly says there have been "excessive waits in Monaghan recently that are unacceptable".

The information would be available to the general public via a new app.

It's reported that the ambulance had to come from Sligo to the Gortakeegan pitch.

A person was treated for smoke inhalation at each incident.
