Fire fighters tackling second gorse fire in two days in Dublin
Fire fighters are tackling a major gorse blaze in Howth, North Dublin, this evening.
It is the second gorse fire in as many days.
Dublin Fire Brigade have taken to Twitter to advise people to be careful in the countryside, especially in dry weather.
They say they found fireworks and the remainder of a barbecue at the scene of the first fire.
