A man has been arrested after a crypt beneath St Michan’s Church of Ireland in Dublin was set on fire.

The vicar of the church told Irish broadcaster RTÉ that five mummified remains were destroyed during the efforts to put the blaze out before it took hold.

The incident on Church Street happened at about 16:30 local time on Tuesday.

Gardaí (Irish police) said the fire was extinguished by Dublin Fire Brigade and the area made safe.

No injuries have been reported at this time.

The scene has been sealed off and a team from the Garda Technical Bureau were carrying out a forensic examination.

Gardaí said a man was arrested in connection with the incident, for an alleged offence under the Criminal Damage Act 1991.
