Written answers

In November 2001 Waterford County Council submitted design drawings and a detailed cost plan for a new one bay fire station at Tallow, estimated cost at that time, €568,000. Since then my Department has approved a tender for a new fire station at Ardmore, County Waterford, estimated cost €780,000.

The council's proposal regarding Tallow is being considered in the context of the fire services capital programme having regard to a risk-based approach to fire cover, the competing demands of other fire authorities nationally, the level of funding available to the capital programme and value for money.
