North Tipperary County Council has submitted a proposal to my Department for the provision of a new fire station at Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary. Funding in this regard was not included in the 2006 Fire Services Capital Programme. However, the provision of such funding will be considered in future years having regard to overall demands on the fire service capital programme, the priorities of North Tipperary County Council, the level of activity, the proximity of other fire stations and the standard of the existing facilities.
