Mr. Dennis Keeley:

I respond to the Dublin city chief executive on a regular basis. Where business cases, significant policy or increased resources are flagged, my first port of call would be the Dublin city chief executive. I would then be invited to speak with the four Dublin chief executives who hold a regular meeting. I present my business case and the explanation and reason for it to the four chief executives. It is generally a collaborative decision, at that table, in relation to advancing any of the policies or projects that may be within the requirement level for Dublin Fire Brigade.
