The Cork Bantry Showing From Fire A Forest Picture: Caused Fire A West Video Brigade Damage Still In
A "significant forest fire" in West Cork has been brought under control.
The blaze saw crews from Bantry, Dunmanway and Clonakilty battle the fire at Shiplake, Dunmanway on Sunday.
Bantry Fire Brigade said the Dunmanway crew were still on the scene this evening, with "a lot of smoke" still in the area.
Fires have occurred in a number of areas over the weekend, with a devastating blaze hitting Killarney National Park.
That blaze, which started on Friday night, is one of the worst in living memory.
The last fire of this scale was in 1984, when the national park had a much larger number of staff to tackle it.
A status orange high fire risk is currently in place until Monday.
The warning was issued arising from weather patterns and expected level of risk.
Earlier, the Dublin Fire Brigade urged people to report fires in the open "immediately".
