"I welcome the registration process, and would like to see the (PHECCj having an even greater input into managing the ambulance service, because ambulance management (HSE) have failed dismally to improve the service and to show leadership"
"It is great to see ambulance service being recognised as a professional accountable service serving the community"
"The situation where those who do not meet the entry requirements but may be invited to join the register needs to be debated more"
"Full utilisation of all assistant in-service instructors within the boards"
"Delighted to see professionals seeing the need for organisation and professionalism in the workplace"
"I would not like to see details of allegations made public, until or unless, the person was found against"
"Courtesy and civility at all times. The hallmark of the Dublin ambulanceman. Police it - Destroy it"
"Policing - not in keeping with the ethos of anambulance service"
"Maybe some confusion internationally (i.e. doctors from abroad) about Paramedic"
"Very happy to be a part of this, and look forward to it's implementation - Good luck"

"If you do not achieve higher powers to weed out the mad and the bad, the register won't be worth the paper it's written on"
"My own personal opinion this is just what we need to pull us out of the 'amb driver' era and that it will change public opinion of EMTs"
"V Good, best of luck"
"More information from PHECC to results of poles. Consultation with DFB as well as HB. This type of system is required to professionise EMT"
"I strongly agree with the professionalisation of our job and am more than happy with the framework that PHECC are proposing for some"
"As somebody who has spent most of my working life in the Ambulance service, I am delighted to see it becoming a professional service some great plans for the future. Lets hope we get the support and backing that a professional emergency service needs"
