Five units of Dublin Fire Brigade battling gorse blaze in Sandyford
Dublin Fire brigade is continuing to fight a gorse fire in South Dublin.
Ground and aerial firefighters are working to bring the blaze under control just outside Sandyford.
Residents in the area are being asked to keep their windows and doors closed.
4,000 homes in the Tallaght area were left without power earlier, due to damage to an ESB power station.
That power has since been restored and there's no further impact to customers at this time.
Fire services are working with the Gardaí and ESB to protect properties in surrounding areas.
