East Mayo town Ballyhaunis is to receive a new fire station as the county gets two new appliances.
Today, Minister Dara Calleary (Fianna Fáil) has announced that funding has been secured for a new fire station in Ballyhaunis as well as an additional two new fire appliances for the county.
"I am delighted that my cabinet colleague James Browne has sanctioned €3 million in the 2026 Fire Services Capital program to Mayo County Council to build a new fire station in Ballyhaunis as well as sanctioning two new fire appliances for the county.
Mayo County Council will now begin the process to build a new state of the art station in the town. This is an vital infrastructure investment for Ballyhaunis and East Mayo.
I would like to commend the fire crew in Ballyhaunis, Mayo Chief Fire officer Tony Shevlin and all at the Mayo Fire Services. They do exceptional work across the county.
I will continue work with Minister Browne to finalise the construction and delivery of the new station and further investments for Mayo Fire Services”.
