A number of people were injured after a crane collapsed at the Point Village in Dublin's docklands this morning.
Five units of Dublin Fire Brigade and seven ambulances, as well as a number of Garda vehicles, attended the scene.
The crawler crane collapsed at the Point Village development site at about 8.40am.
The contractor working on the site, Michael McNamara & Company, said one man was injured and taken to hospital for treatment. A further two employees were also taken to hospital for observation.
Workers on the site were evacuated. One employee, who declined to be named, said they were told the evacuation was due to a fire drill. Others refused to comment.
The company said an investigation into the incident was underway and that the Health & Safety Authority (HSA) had been informed.
A spokesman for the HSA confirmed it had been notified and said an investigation team was on its way to the site.
The Point Village is a large development of residential and commercial units circling the Point Depot venue, now called the 02.
