Concerns have been raised over potential plans to downgrade Shannon Fire Station. It's understood a risk assessment carried out in recent months has recommended the facility can be serviced by 12 firefighters, rather than the 15 currently required. According to Clare County Council, the station responds to 195 emergency call-outs in the catchment area every year. Shannon Sinn Féin TD Donna McGettigan says the proposal is baffling given the number of people living, working and travelling there.
