Coolock Sunday Evening

Another fire has broken out at the former Crown Paints warehouse in Coolock in north Dublin.

It is the fourth fire in the building in four nights, while a fifth fire on Monday saw a JCB and mattresses targeted.

It comes after a week of unrest in the area over the proposed housing of 500 international protection applicants at the site.

Gardaí attended the scene at the Malahide Rd on Sunday evening, along with members of the Dublin Fire Brigade.

The Malahide Rd was closed for a period of time to allow access for fire services to the site.

According to gardaí, no injuries have been reported at this time.
