Unconscious child left waiting due to ‘Inconsiderate parking’ in housing estate

Units from Dublin Fire Brigade were delayed in their attempts to get to an unconscious child yesterday due to what they said was “inconsiderate parking” in a Dublin housing estate.

Emergency services were responding to a call when they were forced to re-route due to parked cars blocking their way.
