Firefighters have dealt with a gorse wildfire in the hills of south Dublin.

The blaze broke out near the Hellfire Club earlier on Saturday morning.

Dublin Fire Brigade said the great weather means fine vegetation is at risk.

They are advising people to be aware if they are out in the countryside.

However, there will be more cloud in the west and northwest with a few outbreaks of rain.
