Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

Fire services are provided by local authorities in accordance with the provisions of the Fire Services Acts 1981 and 2003. Under the Local Government Act 2001, arrangements in relation to staffing in each local authority are the responsibility of the relevant Chief Executive for that authority.

The information requested by the Deputy is not held by my Department.
