An investigation is underway into the cause of two separate fires in Dublin last night.
Several units of the Dublin Fire Brigade worked through the night to bring fires at 3 large detached houses in a derelict housing estate in Shankill under control.
Emergency services were called to the scene at around 8.30pm.
Poor water pressure in the area is believed to have impeded efforts to control the blaze.
While at the same time, up to four units of the fire brigade attended another large fire in Rush in North Dublin.
The blaze took hold just after 8.30pm, also at a derelict house.
There are no reports of any injuries in either incident.
