Firefighters battled a large gorse fire overnight along one of the country’s most scenic mountain ranges.
Carlow-based fire units battled for several hours to extinguish an extensive fire close to the Nine Stones area on Mount Leinster – where an RTÉ transmitter is located.
Driven by strong winds, the fast-moving gorse fire was visible across counties Carlow and Wexford.
A spokesperson for Carlow County Fire and Rescue Service said that despite numerous appeals warning the public not to start fires, a number of individuals continue to intentionally light them on Mount Leinster and the Blackstairs Mountains.
“As well as being damaging to plant and animal life, these fires release enormous volumes of smoke, carbon dioxide and other pollutants which are harmful to the atmosphere.
