Dublin Fire Brigade requested that the Luas temporarily suspend services as firefighters worked to bring the fire under control.

The operators of the Luas informed the public that trams were not operating between Red Cow - Tallaght and Saggart due to "a fire near tracks."

However normal services were resumed shortly afterwards.
