Dublin Fire Brigade have been battling a blaze in Howth.

It broke out on board a boat this morning.

The alarm was raised at around twenty past seven this morning - when a boat moored at the pier wall in Howth caught fire.

20 members of Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene, with a number of them using breathing apparatus to enter the engine room.

Three fishermen were treated for smoke inhalation, but didn't go to hospital.
