A fire at a disused building in the centre of Dublin which interrrupted Luas services earlier today has been extinguished.

Three units of Dublin Fire Brigade were involved in putting out the fire which broke out early this morning in a boarded-up building on Abbey Street, between Capel Street and Liffey Street.

As a result of the blaze, Luas services from Tallaght between 8.30am and 11.30am terminated at Smithfield. Full services have since resumed.

The line had earlier been interrupted between 5.30am and 7am when the fire started. It briefly reopened before the fire reignited leading to a second interruption in services.
