A large fire on the roof of a building housing the Seabank House pub in Dublin's East Wall was put out overnight.

Dublin Fire Brigade crews were called to the fire at about 12.40am on Thursday. The fire was dealt with by fire-fighters on a turntable ladder, and remaining pockets were extinguished by crews on the roof.

Five units responded to the fire, coming from stations in North Strand, Tara Street, and Donnybrook.

The Seabank House is on the ground floor of the building on the East Wall Road, north Dublin.
