I propose to take Questions Nos. 1509 and 1510 together.

Waterford County Council has submitted proposals to my Department for the provision of new fire stations at Tallow and Portlaw, together with an extension to Dungarvan headquarters fire station. These proposals are under consideration in my Department in the context of the 2006 fire services capital programme.
