Six crews and a specialist vehicle were sent to the scene on Union Street at about 15:45 local time. No casualties have been reported.

A Network Rail spokesperson said the station will not reopen on Monday morning "following a fire at a vape shop on Union Street this afternoon".

Police have also cordoned off the street between Gordon Street and St Vincent Street. Diversions have been put in place.

People have been urged to avoid the area and police have advised residents to keep their windows closed.
