The country’s first charity air ambulance, which services Clare, could be grounded if it can’t raise a further €365,000 by the end of today.

The Cork-based Irish Charity Rapid Response service was launched in recent months and relies on donations to stay in the air.

A target of €400,000 was set last week to keep the helicopter flying, with the charity saying it is in terminal danger unless it can raise that money, but to date, just €35,000 has been raised.
