Two Gardai were placed at the entrance of Denny Street to stop traffic from moving down, this caused Ashe Street to be blocked for a time as traffic was redirected up there from Castle Street.
The fire brigade got the call out for the fire at 10:30am and about an hour later the street was reopened.
