Deputy Kerrane said the station provides a ‘life or death service’ and it is essential that it is reopened.
"It is beyond obvious that we need to see Castlerea Fire Station re-opened.
"Despite raising this with Roscommon County Council repeatedly for years now, including before my election, it is time for the Minister now to intervene.
"This is a life or death service and I will continue to pursue it over and over again until the service is returned to the second biggest town in the County,” said Deputy Kerrane.
