The centre will be located in Abbeyleix.
A new national training centre is set to open in Laois to help Irish firefighters prepare for major emergencies and disasters.
The training centre will be located in Knocknamoe, Abbeyleix and will cost around €4 million.
The move comes in wake of the Creeslough disaster in October 2022 when a tragic gas blast at an Applegreen service station in Donegal killed 10 people and injured several others.
Plans for the development will be on public display at consult.laois.ie and Abbeyleix Library from tomorrow until November 19th.
Simon Walton from Laois County Council says residents in Abbeyleix won't be affected by heavy traffic in the area:
