Fire crews have dealt with a fire at the former Our Lady’s Psychiatric Hospital in Ennis.
It’s the third time since last Friday that Ennis Fire Service and Gardaí were called to the scene.
Shortly before 8 o’clock this evening, emergency services were alerted to a fire at the former hospital. On arrival at the scene, fire crews met two people walking out of the building carrying duvets.
On entering the building, firefighters discovered two fires inside and extinguished both.
Gardaí also attended the scene this evening and located the two people seen leaving the building earlier. Gardaí spoke with the pair and an investigation into the fires is expected to be carried out.
Fire crews and Gardaí also attended fires at the same location on Friday and Saturday last.
The building is in a dangerous condition following previous fires which have caused floors to collapse. Despite a high fence being erected around the site, people continue to gain entry.
