A man has been arrested in relation to a Christmas Day house fire in Co Meath.
The blaze broke out yesterday morning, with Gardaí and local fire and emergency services making their way to the house in Beechmount Estate at around 9am.
No one was at home at the time but people inside the two adjoining houses were forced to evacuate.
No one was injured.
The fire was brought under control by fire services and the scene was preserved for a technical exam.
A man in his 30s has since been arrested and is currently being held at Navan Garda Station.
Gardai say they're investigating all the circumstances surrounding the blaze and their inquiries are ongoing.
