Question:

328 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if funding is now in place for a project in County Mayo; if not, when this funding will be put in place; and when the construction phase will commence. [21011/04]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Gallagher)

The construction of a replacement fire station at Westport is included in the fire services capital programme. I anticipate that a decision will issue shortly following my Department's consideration of Mayo County Council's proposals for the project. Some €445,700 has been recouped to the council to date to meet expenditure already incurred in respect of the site and fees.
