Four units of the fire brigade remain at the scene tonight.

Gardaí have said that the operation will be scaled down overnight, but some road restrictions are likely to remain in place tomorrow morning, because of safety concerns.

There are no reports of any injuries, and all traffic - including buses - is being diverted away from the area.
