National Retained Firefighters Association AGM

The AGM for National Retained Firefighters Association is taking place this Sunday 29th Jan @ 2pm in The Prince of Wales Hotel in Athlone.

If you could ensure that your County and Station is represented on day.

Firefighters want service charges stopped

The Irish Fire and Emergency Services Association has called for the abolition of fire service charges. It said the principle of charging for domestic fires is wrong and that the charge was not proposed or sought by the firefighters in the fire service.

The association said the charge was imposed by executive officers of county councils and supported by elected county councillors. IFESA national chairperson John Kidd said the charges vary and so it is a postcode lottery which raises serious health and safety issues.

No new Fire Station for Kildare

Kildare County Council has denied that there are any plans to locate a Fire Station in the town. The denial came in response to a question from Cllr Tony O' Donnell at the January meeting of the Kildare Area Committee. The Councillor had asked the council to outline its plans, if any existed, to locate a Fire Station in the town. In response a report to the meeting said; "The Fire Service does not have any plans to locate a new Fire Station in Kildare town".

There are currently six Fire Stations in the county located at Maynooth, Leixlip, Naas, Newbridge, Monasterevin and Athy. Newbridge Fire Station provides the Fire Service response to Kildare Town supported by Monasterevin when required. Cllr O' Donnell explained to the Kildare Nationalist why he had to put in the question.

"Myself and Cllr Suzanne Doyle were approached by several people asking us about the possibility of a Fire Station being located in the town. There were persistent rumors going about that the council had purchased the premises were Heffernan's tyres are and Heffernan's were said to be moving to the Chapman's site. People couldn't understand why everybody seemed to know about this and we as Councillors knew nothing about it. So i put in the question to lay the rumours to rest once an for all".
