View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 512 and 513 together.
An application from Sligo County Council for funding for improvement works to Sligo HQ fire station is being considered in my Department in the context of the fire services capital programme having regard to the overall availability of resources and priorities under the programme. There is no formal application before my Department at present for a new fire station in Ballymote.
