Approval to the inclusion in the fire services capital programme of the construction of a replacement fire station at Castlecomer was conveyed to the fire authority in 2005. The authority subsequently invited tenders in respect of the construction of the station and following an assessment, in April 2009, of the tenders received, the authority wrote to my Department requesting sanction to accept a recommended tender. My Department is currently examining the request and a response will issue shortly to the authority.
