Following a dramatic intervention on live radio, the first official landing of Rescue 118 on Sligo University Hospitals new Helipad took place 30 mins later than planned.
As Niall Delaney was interviewing Captain Paraic Slattery, pilot of Rescue 118 and Robert Tatten, General Manager CHC Ireland, live on his Ocean FM radio show, Rescue 118 was called out.
Niall s interview was cut short but as he said himself “that’s what the Coast Guard service do, when they are called they go.”
“We were on route to Roscommon when we were stood down and we returned to base,” said Paraic Slattery Captain of 118, “this can happen from time to time it’s all a part of the job.”
