The provision of funding for a fire station at Cloughjordan will be considered under future fire services capital programmes having regard to the overall availability of resources, the spread of existing facilities and the totality of demands of fire authorities for available funds. In autumn 2008, the fire authority indicated that improvement to the fire station at Templemore was their first priority and Cloughjordan was the second priority.
