I am going to give Deputies Alan Farrell and Aindrias Moynihan a minute each as we are running out of time.

Tomorrow is the start of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO, Orange the World campaign to highlight its aim of ending violence against women. The Ceann Comhairle has agreed to my request to light the obelisk on Leinster Lawn tomorrow as part of that campaign. Will the Taoiseach commit to fulfilling the programme for Government commitment to implementing a plan for future refuge space on the publication of the review of domestic violence accommodation provision currently under way?

The retained firefighters in Ballincollig have provided a phenomenal service to their community over a great many years. There is a huge concern locally that City Hall is now closing the fire station there. The full-time crew who were temporarily there have gone back to Anglesea Street and there are not enough retained firefighters to operate the station as it is. There are 18 additional firefighters recruited and finishing out their training.

It would make sense, as the city is growing westward, to have a crew operating a fire service from the western side of the city in the new fire station in Ballincollig. It just does not stack up to have a new fire station empty. I ask the Taoiseach to raise this issue with city hall authorities and impress on them the value of having a fire service based locally in Ballincollig.

I responded yesterday to the issue raised by Deputy Farrell. We are confident of fulfilling the Government commitment to this, especially by providing more refuges, accommodation, supports and capacity.

In respect of Deputy Ó Muineacháin's point, I understand a number of retained firefighters in Ballincollig have been successful in securing whole-time positions with Cork city fire service. That has resulted in vacancies in the retained fire service in Ballincollig. Cork City Council has moved a crew of whole-time firefighters to Ballincollig as a temporary measure pending restoration of a retained service. Provision of a retained fire service in Ballincollig remains the objective of the city council and a new recruitment campaign is planned for retained firefighters in Ballincollig. It is hoped that suitable candidates in Ballincollig will be interested in taking up roles as retained firefighters and that the local business community will consider facilitating any staff who go forward for this valuable community service. Since the incorporation of Ballincollig fire station into the Cork City Council fire service, arrangements for staffing of the council's fire service have been the subject of discussions between the council and staffing interests, which takes on board what the Deputy said. This process will probably enhance the service in Ballincollig over time.
