Approval in principle to extend the fire station in Templemore was notified to North Tipperary County Council in 2007 and the matter will be further considered in the Department on receipt of detailed design plans for the project.

Further investment in the fire service in North Tipperary will be considered under future capital programmes within the constraints on available resources and will have regard to the fire authority's priorities, the spread of existing facilities and the totality of demands from other fire authorities for available funding.
