Firefighters have been battling a major gorsefire in south Dublin overnight.
Several units of Dublin Fire Brigade spent much of the night fighting the wildfire in Killiney.
Three engines, a water tanker and a wildfire-response jeep attended the scene at Mullins Hill, that saw strong winds driving smoke across a wide area.
Two fire engines will remain on scene throughout the night at the #Killiney gorse #wildfire.

Crumlin Shopping Centre fire
Separately an investigation is underway after Gardaí were called to a fire at the old Crumlin Shopping Centre.
Onlookers raised the alarm when they saw smoke coming from a number of vacant units shortly after 8pm last night.
It was brought under control and there were no reports of injuries.
