Proposals for a new fire station for Waterford City were approved in principle under the 2006 fire service capital programme and my Department approved Waterford City Council to progress the project to final design stage in 2010. I understandthat the tender process for the fire station is at evaluation stage by Waterford City Council and the construction work is on target to commence during quarter three of 2013. Funding of €2 million has been allocated from the Fire Services 2013 capital budget significantly to progress the building of this resource. Further funding will be required from my Department's fire capital budget in the coming years to complete the construction of Waterford City's new fire station.
