The fires have now been extinguished.

Meanwhile in South Dublin another two cars were set on fire and a lamp post was toppled, blocking the entrance to an estate in Fortunestown.

Firefighters from Tallaght fire station tackled the blaze at the scene.

Dublin Fire Brigade have already responded to over 144 fire incidents in the capital today, the majority of which since sunset.

The force have set up an interactive map to keep track of all dangerous fires in the capital over Halloween.

Dublin Fire Brigade tweeted: “Firefighters from North Strand fire station at 2 cars on fire in Darndale off the R139. Our crews have finished on scene after they encountered anti social behaviour.”

Earlier in the night, members of the fire brigade encountered antisocial behaviour with rocks and fireworks after responding to a bin store on fire in the city centre.

Multiple bins were set alight and crews from Tara Street tackled the blaze.

 

 

Crews were also called to a large bonfire in Balgaddy.

They warned that bonfires of this size could contain gas cylinders and aerosol cans leading to potential injury.
