THE Garda Public Order Unit was sent to back up firefighters in Cherry Orchard on Sunday night, following reports of a number of vans being burnt out.
Dublin Fire Brigade was dealing with two vehicles that were set on fire at Orchard Lawns.
A group of young people who had gathered nearby were moved on.
A Garda spokesperson said: "No injuries have been reported and no arrests have been made currently.”
“The Public Order Unit has been deployed to the area as a precaution.
“The blaze has been dealt with by DFB. A scene is currently preserved for a technical examination.”
Councillor Daithí Doolan (SF) urged residents to support each other in the community.
“This trouble only creates more fear for the elderly and vulnerable who are already anxious in these difficult and uncertain times,” he said
