As the Deputy will appreciate, it is the responsibility of Dún Laoghaire Corporation to make reasonable provision for the prompt and efficient extinguishing of fires in their district. I am aware that the corporation have a proposal for a new fire station at Kill Avenue under consideration and that the project is at an advanced stage of planning. It is, however, a matter for the corporation to decide whether and when to proceed with the proposal, subject to obtaining my sanction for any necessary borrowing. No proposal for approval to borrow for this project has been received in my Department.
