Clare Chief Fire Officer ‘Satisfied’ With Current Recruitment Levels Amid Councillors’ Concerns

Clare’s Chief Fire Officer says he’s ‘satisfied’ with the current level of recruitment in the service.

It follows concerns raised by local Councillors this week relating to the number of staff working across the county’s seven fire stations.

Four vacancies have arisen across Clare’s services since September, with interviews scheduled to fill the posts in the coming week.

Chief Fire Officer Adrian Kelly admits retaining staff can be a ‘challenge’, but says this is no different to other units across the country.
