Abbeyleix Fire Station

24% pay rise among retained firefighter row proposals Retained firefighters could be given pay rises of at least 24% and guarantees that 400 more positions will be filled to help address staff shortage concerns.

We would like to thank everyone, who has dropped in refreshments and treats to our crew members over the last couple of days. Thank you for you're continued support.

We NEED YOUR SUPPORT, show your local firefighters your support to them by signing the below petition and lets show Darragh O'Brien TD that the fire service needs change, it needs a decent working salary and it needs a work life balance.

Please also tag as many TDs and local representatives as possible.
