The provision of funding for a fire station at Cloughjordan will be considered under future fire services capital programmes having regard to the 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. In autumn 2008, the fire authority indicated that improvement to the fire station at Templemore is its first priority and Cloughjordan the second.
