Kanturk Fire Station is included in the programme of sixteen fire stations for construction within the five-year, €40 million, allocation of the Fire Services Capital Programme announced in February 2016. Draft designs for the new station have been received and reviewed by my Department, and approval issued to the Council on 16 July, 2018 to proceed to seek tenders for the project.
On 10 April 2019, the Council submitted a tender proposal to the Department for approval prior to contract. This proposal will now be reviewed and a response will issue to the Council as soon as possible.
