Dublin Blaze Disrupts Traffic

A fire in a derelict building in James Street in Dublin caused traffic disruption earlier on Thursday.

Gardaí and fire crews searched the building, but it is not thought that anyone was inside when the blaze broke out.

James Street was closed to inbound traffic and diversions put in place, but it has since reopened.

The Luas Red Line service was affected by the blaze and running only between Connolly and Smithfield and Tallaght and Blackhorse stations.
