Investigations are underway into the cause of a fire at Ballymun Shopping Centre in north Dublin last night.

The alarm was raised at about 10.30pm by a member of the public.

A spokesperson for the fire brigade said firefighters managed to bring the blaze at a derelict retail unit adjacent to the Tower's pub under control within an hour and a half.

Nobody was injured in the incident, and the investigation has been handed over the Gardai.
