Drimnagh is to get a new national ambulance base.
The HSE has applied to the city council to build the facility at Davitt Road at a cost of around 6 million euro.
The existing facility at St James Hospital will close due to the construction of the Children's Hospital.
A base once planned for Cherry Orchard has now also been incorporated into the Davitt Road facility.
It has space for 38 ambulances, motorcycles and rapid response vehicles.
The Davitt road site is close to St. James hospital, The Coombe and Our Lady's in Crumlin.
It also has speedy access to the M50, the N4 and the N7.
