THE West Cork SOS campaign to save the night-time ambulances in Castletownbere and Skibbereen enters a new phase this week as the group organisers plan to intensify opposition to the cuts.
The loss of the two ambulances would leave just two, one based in Bantry and one in Clonakilty to cover all of West Cork from 8pm to 8am.
The area has a population of some 82,000 and from the far peninsulas and islands it can take up to two hours to get to Cork.
A protest march will take place on Saturday, November 26th in Skibbereen getting underway at 12.30pm.
