The Kilkenny Fire Chief says a new fire station for Graiguenamanagh has been ‘a long time coming.’
Plans were submitted back in 2008 and yesterday 1.1 million euro was promised to provide a brand new facility in the area.
John Collins says it will mean better access and improved training facilities for the fire-fighters there.
Meanwhile Carlow Fire Service is getting a new fire engine. They have been allocated 300 thousand euro for the new appliance.
