Gardaí are investigating a fire at a property in Sandyford in Dublin on Sunday evening.
Last week videos circulated on social media claiming that international protection applicants were to be housed in the building.
A spokesperson for the Department of Integration has said it is investigating if this is the case.
A spokesperson for An Garda Síochána said that gardaí from Stepaside station are investigating fire damage to the property off the Sandyford Road.

They said the property was vacant at the time and was undergoing renovation, and that the alarm had been raised by security personnel.
"No one was injured," they said.
Three fire engines from Rathfarnham and Donnybrook fire stations attended the scene.
