A “comprehensive and thorough investigation” into the cause of the incident will take place, the company added.

“All 15 passengers on board and the driver evacuated safely and the fire has been extinguished,” a Bus Éireann spokeswoman said.

“Bus Éireann would like to thank the emergency services, our driver and passengers for their rapid and effective response to the situation,” she added.
