Radio Kerry News also understands on July 21st an ambulance was dispatched from Tralee to Millstreet and Buttevant as there wasn't an ambulance available in the north Cork area.
In a statement, the National Ambulance Service says all calls to it are triaged and responded to appropriately with the most urgent calls given priority.
It adds that the ambulance service operates on a national basis and mobilises responses to calls for help based on patient needs.
The service says ambulances may travel to various locations irrespective of their base as they are not confined to work in geographical areas.
