The resources to be made available in 2009 for capital funding of the fire and emergency services (€23 million) are included in the published 2009 estimates for public services and summary public capital programme. Proposals are currently under consideration for inclusion in the 2009 programme having regard to each fire authority's priorities, the existing facilities available, the level of activity, the proximity of other fire stations and competing demands in relation to the resources available.
