Helen McEntee (Meath East, Fine Gael)

I join with the Deputy in commending the members of our fire service, An Garda Síochána and all of our emergency services on the fantastic work they do in protecting us and keeping us safe. A huge amount of work happened under the previous Government. That has continued into the term of this Government. The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage has engaged with the fire service, but I am not aware whether the meeting the Deputy mentioned has taken place. I will relay his concerns to the Minister and ask him to come back to the Deputy directly.
