Fire officers inflamed over Cullen’s lack of action

FIRE officers have expressed frustration about the failure to establish a National Fire Authority, which was recommended by an expert report two years ago.

The Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA) said it will give Environment Minister Martin Cullen a “robust welcome” when he attends their annual conference in Wexford next month.

“Two full years have elapsed and no action has been taken. This is extremely serious,” said CFOA chairman Tony Gleeson.
