Bales of cardboard, wood and plastic are still burning and large plumes of smoke are continuing to billow across parts of the city.
Scene inspectors from the Environmental Protection Agency are on site and monitoring the situation.
Gardaí and the EPA are warning members of the public to keep windows and doors closed due to the toxic nature of the burning material and strong winds.
