More than 150 guests of a Dublin Hotel have been safely evacuated after a major fire broke out last night.
A number of fire crews managed to bring the blaze in the upper storeys of the Metro Hotel in Ballymun under control in the early hours of this morning.

The residents were transferred to the Carlton Hotel for the night.
Local councillor Paul McAuliffe says the fire is a blow for the whole area:
