Gardai investigating after building materials set alight at site in Malahide, North Dublin

Emergency services rushed to the scene in North Dublin last night after a huge fire broke out at a site.

Two fire brigade units from Swords and Kilbarrack attended the blaze which broke out at the site in Malahide late on Monday.

Two containers were pictured going up in smoke while the Dublin Fire Brigade said they had to use breathing apparatus while dealing with it.

They said: "Two fire engines from Swords and Kilbarrack have been called to containers on fire on a site in Malahide. Building materials are alight."

 

It's believed the fire was caused deliberately with gardai now on the hunt for the thugs who started it.

A spokesman said: "Gardaí attended an incident of criminal damage that occurred on Seamount Drive, Malahide last night, Monday 17th February.

"A number of building materials were damaged during the incident. No arrests have been made and investigations are ongoing."
