After years of uncertainty and delays, Bagenalstown looks set to finally get the fire station upgrade it desperately needs.
It was confirmed at the latest Municipal District meeting that the €1.3 million needed for refurbishment has now been secured.
Originally allocated just half a million euro in 2021, the project was stalled due to insufficient funds. Now, with the full amount approved, work finally looks set to begin.
Officials are aiming to deliver the upgraded station by early 2027.
Councillor Andy Gladney welcomed the long-awaited announcement saying “I’m over the moon about this”
“We’ve been waiting quiet a while to get the upgrade to the station”
“We are in a good position at the present moment, they’ll be appointing the contractor shortly, everything is ready to go but it will be at least six to eight months before it’s completed”
