North Tipperary County Council submitted a proposal to my Department for the provision of a new fire station at Cloughjordan, County Tipperary in May 2005. While it has not been possible to fund this proposal to date, funding has been provided for other priority projects at Thurles and Templemore.

The provision of funding for Cloughjordan will be considered in future years having regard to the overall availability of resources and to priorities under the fire services capital programme.
