The provision of funding for a fire station at Cloughjordan will be considered under future fire services capital programmes within the constraints of available resources and will have regard to the fire authority's priorities, the existing facilities available, the level of activity, the proximity of other fire stations and the totality of demand from other fire authorities. In autumn 2008, the fire authority indicated that improvement to the fire station at Templemore is the fire authority's first priority followed by Cloughjordan.
