Irish Lawmaker Urges Probe into Alleged Misogynistic Culture in National Ambulance Service

A lawmaker in Irelands parliament has called for an investigation into reports of a misogynistic culture within the National Ambulance Service. The main concern revolves around a paramedic accused of drugging and raping a woman multiple times using stolen sedatives and painkillers. At least five women have come forward with complaints about this man, including one who was locked in a shed. Despite four of these complaints reaching managers, no action was taken, and the service promoted him to a senior role anyway. The lawmaker compared the handling of the situation to past church scandals and demanded fixes to the complaints process. The Taoiseach has vowed zero tolerance for harassment or worse in the service and plans to have the Health Minister review the background and launch an investigation if needed. The HSE, which runs the service, has strict policies on dignity at work and will support victims while any probes continue.
