Emergency services are battling a fire in Limerick city centre this evening.
Limerick Fire Service was alerted to the fire at approximately 4pm this afternoon, following a significant number of calls about a fire in the Catherine Street area, according to the Limerick Leader newspaper.
The fire is understood to be at a derelict building formerly owned by the Limerick Leader.
