Rathdowney Fire Station is due a replacement.
A Laois TD is pressing the Government for swift action to build a new fire station in a Laois town.
Despite a site being secured in 2003, Rathdowney Fire Station is still awaiting replacement.
With Part 8 planning approval finalised, Laois County Council has officially designated the project as a priority in the 2026-2030 Fire Service Capital Programme.
Fine Gael Deputy Willie Aird says the current station is not fit for purpose:
