Boost for fire services in Dublin By Hazel Nolan Dublin is getting four new fire engines. It's part of a €61m Fire Service Capital Programme which has been announced by the government. The programme will see 6 new fire stations built across the country, continued support for the construction of a further 12 new fire stations, 9 fire station refurbishments and the allocation of 35 new fire engines. Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O'Brien, said Dublin has very specific needs. “Separately, in Dublin, where requirements are in some ways unique, the Department will as a matter of priority critically and comprehensively evaluate funding needs over the next few years.
