The premises of the Anglo-Celt newspaper at Church Street, Cavan, were badly damaged in a fire on Wednesday night.
Computer and laser equipment worth hundreds of thousands of pounds were destroyed but the paper's editor, Mr Charlie O'Hanlon, said yesterday it would be business as usual. Work was in progress on next week's issue and the company was fulfilling all publishing contracts.
The section of the building containing the printing press escaped serious damage. The fire started shortly after 11 p.m. when a boiler house ignited and flames spread to a fuel tank which ruptured.
Occupants of nearby houses were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Three firemen were injured when a wall collapsed on them - two sustained leg fractures and were taken to hospital in Navan. A fourth fireman suffered smoke inhalation and was taken to Cavan General Hospital for treatment and was later discharged.
The Anglo-Celt is one of the oldest local newspapers in Ireland, and has a wide readership in the Cavan-Monaghan area.
