Big
White Taxi
Series of pictures taken over the course
of one Saturday night
with members of Delta 104
of
Dublin's Fire and Ambulance Brigade.
Responses to emergencies around Dublin city
centre mostly
involve young people with excess
consumption of alcohol or
drugs.
So many of the callouts are due to excessive
drinking,
that emergency technicians have begun
to call their ambulance
the 'Big White
Taxi',
as they ferry intoxicated teenagers to and from
hospitals.
The
abuse of alcohol in Ireland and
it's
subsequent health problems is a major social concern.
