An status orange fire warning expired yesterday afternoon.
Dublin Fire Brigade say they’ve made 'good progress' in tackling a large blaze in Howth.

Firefighters will remain at #Howth tonight. We have made good progress in reducing the size of the fire but hotspots remain. Smoke continues to drift in the area. #Dublin #fire #Fingal pic.twitter.com/45QhKPxoTL
