Mr. Dennis Keeley:

I am not all that familiar with the issues relating to the Ballincollig station. However, Dublin Fire Brigade has two retained stations so we are familiar with the retained system and the retained service. I am also aware that there is an ongoing review of the retained service nationally and it is subject to some industrial action and discussions that are ongoing as we speak. We have two retained services in Dublin and they are extremely busy. I understand the challenges for personnel who operate as retained firefighters. It is an extremely challenging position. We have been fortunate that recruitment within our two retained stations has not been a problem, thankfully. We have been fortunate enough to have been able to recruit and also retain the personnel we have, who tend to stay with us quite a long time. Our problems may be somewhat different to other parts of the retained service but I do understand that it is extremely challenging to recruit and retain staff and I understand the challenges those staff are undertaking in terms of modern life and the commitment they must make. I am very conscious of that.

What was the second part of the Deputy's question?
