So far it has been a very busy bank holiday weekend for firefighters, and on Saturday night two fire engines were called to a fire on a housing construction site in Clondalkin. The fire was prevented from damaging nearby silos and spreading any further.
Also on Saturday night, Dublin Fire Brigade attended a late night crash on the M50 between Firhouse and Ballinteer, which saw long delays for motorists before the crash was cleared. Dublin Live has contacted Dublin Fire Brigade for comment.
