A man is being treated for burn injuries following an incident during a protest in Dublin last night.
The incident happened during a demonstration by members of the Travelling community at Coolock Lane at about 8pm last night.
It is understood residents of an unofficial halting site were protesting over plans by the local authority to move them from the area.
Gardaí were called to the scene after a man carrying petrol threatened to set himself on fire.
Officers were attempting to defuse the situation when another man became engulfed in flames.
The injured man was taken to Beaumont Hospital for treatment for second degree burns.
He was transferred to the burns unit of St James's Hospital last night.
