Last night/this morning.
The Metro Hotel and apartment complex, Ballymun, Dublin 11.
Two fire engines remain at the scene of the blaze which broke out at about 8pm last night, in a private residence above the Metro Hotel.
…The fire started on the building’s 13th floor before spreading to surrounding floors.
It is understood members of Dublin Fire Brigade went through the building, floor by floor to ensure it was fully evacuated.
The brigade’s Chief Fire Officer said that the fire has been extinguished and investigations will begin once the building has been made safe.

UPDATE:
Dublin Fire Brigade tweetz:
The fire in St Margarets is now under control. Some units will be released from the scene shortly, however some will remain to dampen down any hot spots. We would still advise any residents in the surrounding area to keep their windows closed.

As the fire service, army and air-corps continue to battle the fire in the Cloosh Valley near Oughterard, Co Galway which began on Sunday…
The Galway Advertiser reports:
The fire in Cloosh Valley near Oughterard, which has destroyed more than 1,000 hectares of forestry is believed to have originated from deliberately set gorse fires, which subsequently spread into Coillte owned forestry.

This morning.
Firefighters continue to tackle the fire at Cloosh Valley, near Oughterard in Co. Galway.
The Galway Advertiser writes:
“Two helicopters have been operating over the site since Sunday, and are using 1,200 litre capacity ‘bambi buckets’ to drop water to counter the flames…A quarter of the forest’s 4,000 hectare area has already been lost to the fire – or rather 30 individual fires which, together, are causing the extensive damage.
The fire also threatens Galway Wind Park, where the Republic’s biggest wind farm is currently under construction, with two of the 24 turbines erected on the site so far… the exact cause of the fire is not yet known.”
