Across the border this weekend… August 13, 2019

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) is set to work a fourth night with major staff shortages.
Over the weekend, it was down by about 20 crews – roughly a quarter of its normal workforce – but management say there was no major incident.
Two ambulance crews were drafted in from the Republic of Ireland over the weekend.
It’s a small, but far from unimportant thing. It points to the manner in which contexts have changed across the decades.
One can’t help but remember the Belfast Blitz, and the firecrews sent north, albeit this is a less dramatic circumstance.
