The former New Ross Fire Station on Michael Street has been transferred to the HSE for the provision of a new and modern 24-hour Ambulance Station.
The news has been confirmed by Cllr Michael Sheehan, Cathaoirleach of New Ross Municipal District Council who told WexfordLocal.com; “I made a commitment as Chair to the Council and HSE, that I work to ensure the Ambulance Service crews would have the best facilities commensurate with a modern Paramedic/ Ambulance service.
“To be fair, the commitment was never wavering, and I’m delighted that the old fire-station will now be transformed into a modern, 24-hours full suite of accommodation for the crews. It is nothing less than they deserve and nothing less than the people of New Ross need,” concluded Cllr Sheehan, who has added his congratulations and thanks to Wexford County Council and the HSE/ Ambulance officials and to the men and women of the Paramedic/First Responder and Ambulance crews.
The old New Ross Fire Station on Michael Street served the Wexford County Fire Service for over 30 years. The current New Ross Fire Station is located at Hewittsland, cost €1.8 million to construct and was officially opened last November.
