A paramedic who claimed her sister was in hospital to get off work has been fired, after her sibling's Facebook account showed her putting up Christmas decorations at home. But the ambulance service found Facebook posts shared by her sister showing her house decorated for Christmas. Ms Twomey had also shared a memory of a holiday in Mexico, writing: '8 days till this paradise again.' But in future interviews, she said she had resigned from the ambulance service, and claimed she had never been subjected to a disciplinary hearing. Ms Twomey was arrested in April 2024, having been caught drink-driving, and was disqualified from driving.
