I propose to take Questions Nos. 379 and 380 together.

Waterford County Council has submitted a proposal to my Department for the provision of a new fire station at Portlaw, County Waterford. This proposal is under consideration in my Department in the context of the 2006 fire services capital programme, which has not yet been finalised, having regard to the overall availability of resources and to priorities under the programme.
