A large fire in the docklands area of Dublin city centre has been brought under control, Dublin Fire Brigade has said.

The fire service said that smoke was still visible in the area and it was "damping down" the scene.

It thanked other services that attended the incident.

Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) said four fire engines, a foam tender and a water tanker attended the scene at George's Dock in the IFSC.

It said it used a 70mm hose to control the fire and "cool adjacent exposures".

DFB said it also used water from the River Liffey during the operation.

In a statement earlier, the fire service said it received "multiple 999 calls reporting a fire at George's Dock shortly after 6pm".

Gas Networks Ireland said it had a crew at the scene and assisted fire services.

A spokesperson said it is not yet known whether the cause of the fire was gas-related.
