Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 November 2004
645 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position in relation to a new fire station (details supplied) in County Mayo; if all the documents are in place for this project; when this project will commence; and the detailed breakdown of all the stages completed to date and the stages for completion. [29995/04]
View answerApproval in principle has been granted for the proposed replacement fire station in Westport which is included in the fire services capital programme as a priority project. Some €445,700 has been recouped to Mayo County Council to date to meet expenditure already incurred in respect of the site and fees for this project.
My Department had requested Mayo County Council to review certain aspects of the proposed plans and costings of this project; a response has now been received and is being examined. Once the outstanding issues have been resolved satisfactorily the project will be approved to proceed to tender stage.
