Guitarist Collapses at Limerick Show

Lar Kaye of The Coronas collapsed mid-show at King John’s Castle in Limerick—no ambulance in sight, so he was rushed to hospital in a Garda patrol car. Off-duty medics stepped in to save him, highlighting the crushing strain on Ireland’s ambulance service, especially during busy weekends. With only three ambulances covering a massive area, demand often outstrips supply. Paramedics are also battling pay and working conditions, with strikes looming. The band’s planned July 11 replay offers hope—until then, this incident is a sobering reminder of how vital—and overstretched—emergency services truly are.
