The purchase and location of fire appliances to provide fire cover for a particular area is entirely a matter for the fire authority concerned. I have had no proposal from Dublin Corporation for approval to borrowing for the purpose of acquiring a further fire appliance for the Tallaght fire station.
I understand from the corporation, however, that the area covered by the Tallaght fire station will be reduced when the new fire station at Rathfarnham comes into operation later this year.
