The Dublin Fire Brigade had a hectic New Years.

The emergency services received 321 ambulance call-outs over a 14-hour period.

188 of them were after midnight.

The figures for between 4pm on New Year's Eve and 6am yesterday show the numbers are broadly in line with the previous year when the Dublin Fire Brigade dealt with 332 calls.

At one point crews from both the DFB and the National Ambulance Service were receiving a 999 call-out every 60 seconds.

According to the Irish Independent the total number of ambulance cases for the Dublin Fire Brigade throughout 2015 was just short of a massive 96,000 medical incidents - up 6,000 on the previous year.
