They live-tweeted their work yesterday to show the stresses firefighters are put under at this time of year.

One ambulance was hit with a bottle on a call-out in Balbriggan. The crew members were not injured in the incident, but the vehicle was put off the road for the night.

A reserve ambulance was put on the road and the original will be repaired.

Firefighters also attended dozens of alcohol and assault cases.
