At least 40 firefighters tackled a blaze at a hotel in north county Dublin overnight.
The fire broke out on the fourth floor of the Bracken Court Hotel in Balbriggan at around 11pm.
The hotel was full at the time and a number of different receptions were being held. Guests and staff were immediately evacuated and while the damage to the building has been extensive, nobody was injured in the fire.
A spokesman for Dublin Fire Brigade said eight units responded to the scene. As the blaze was brought under control that was reduced to four, and two remain to monitor the situation.
A garda spokesman said the fire is not being treated as suspicious.
