A man has died in a house fire in west Dublin.

The blaze at the property in Lucan broke out just before 6am on Sunday, gardaí said.

The man who died was aged in his 40s.

The scene was preserved for a technical examination, with investigations ongoing as to the cause of the fire.

Gardaí warned that they were aware of commentary circulating online about the incident that contained “misinformation, disinformation and fake news”.

In a statement, the Garda said: “Once again, An Garda Síochána appeal to the public to independently verify any information that is shared on social media and/or sent through messaging sharing apps.”
