Another fire has broken out at the former Crown paint factory in Coolock in Dublin.

Violent clashes at the site earmarked for asylum seekers, saw a number of people arrested earlier this summer.

This is believed to be the sixth fire to have broken out at the disused factory on the Malahide Road. The blaze was brought under control last night after breaking out shortly after 10pm.

A makeshift camp was erected at the entrance to the site by anti-immigrant protestors a number of months ago.

The riot squad was brought in a number of times, while garda vehicles were damaged and Dublin Bus services were surrounded.

Gardaí say no one was injured and investigations are ongoing.
