Vol. 479 No. 2
157 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for the Environment if his attention has been drawn to the urgent need to provide a new fire station at Dowra, County Cavan; when the contract documents in respect of this project will be approved; when tenders will be sought; when construction will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12859/97]
158 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for the Environment the stage of a project (details supplied) in County Cavan; when tenders will be invited in respect of this project; when construction work will commence; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12860/97]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 157 and 158 together.
While contract documents in respect of both these projects have been submitted to my Department, I cannot say at this stage when the proposals may be allowed to go to tender stage having regard to the capital available and the current level of demand under the fire services capital programme.
