A major blaze at a derelict building in north Dublin has been brought under control.
The fire broke out at Belcamp College in Malahide around 9pm last night.
Around 20 units of Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene and residents living in the area were advised to keep their windows closed due to smoke.
There were no injuries reported.
Belcamp College was designed by Kilkenny-born architect James Hoban, who also designed the White House in Washington, and it also featured an oval room that was gutted in a previous fire.
The house was built in the 1770s with the Oblate fathers founding the Catholic college as a boarding school there in 1893.
The building was also damaged by fire in 2016.
