Cork City Fire Brigade

[Meridian]

All its going to take, which I hope it doesn't is a fire in Ballincollig that causes a fatality.

City Council are not going to come out of this at all well.

The figures quoted last night as per call outs are not relevant
Ballincollig was always in the County and even if there was a fire in the city jurisdiction in somewhere like Bishopstown, they would never be called in unless the city were extremely busy at that given time.

This Ballincollig thing is also effecting parts of the City in areas such as Tower, Blarney and a lot of land out that way that is now the responsibility of the City.

I am far from a left wing head banger but on this, I think it is high stakes game the city council are engaged in.

Certainly think there's a middle-ground that should be explored. As you say, god-forbid there's a fatality before some kind of permanent Fire Station is put in B'collig.

There's one in the Glen on the North-Eastern side of the city so I think it makes sense that there be one on the South-Western fringes as well. Obviously we can't afford to have a Fire Station in every neighbourhood but when the journey even under lights to Ballincollig - a relatively large urban centre - is almost 10 minutes then it makes sense to have a modest sized station out there.

Surely a working compromise can be arrived at.

That’s Ballyvolane not the Glen.

That’s Ballyvolane not the Glen.

It's on Spring Lane and just across the road from the Glen park, and hundreds of yards from Ballyvolane Shopping centre - I'd say it's in the Glen

Nope. It’s Ballyvolane. Nice try ?

Postal Address ?

Kinsalebeg National School School in the Republic of Ireland Address: Kinsalebeg NS, NR, Youghal, Co. Cork, P36 F827

Kinsalebeg National School is in County Waterford




And the North Ring Road is only on one side of that fire station - Spring Lane bounds it on two sides

It’s in Ballyvolane, the town lands boundary extends across the North Ring in to Glen River Park

There are no entrances in Spring Lane. It’s on the North Ring Road and therefore Ballyvolane Fire Station is in Ballyvolane. Spring Lane isn’t the Glen either btw.

I see the City Council got lucky.....even within the last few days

In fairness IRA/SF have a huge data base for names addresses etc . The server is hosted in Germany for some unexplained reason
