Galway Bay fm newsroom - Emergency services spent a number of hours overnight tackling a re-ignited gorse fire north of Barna.
A major blaze erupted at Truskey West earlier this week - and while it has since been contained, there have been a number of flare-ups in recent days.
Fire crews have been called to the site - one or two miles north of the village - countless times since Tuesday.
They say difficult conditions make it extremely challenging to fully extinguish the fire.

A significant incident last evening led to a heavy presence of smoke which saw the Barna to Moycullen Road once again closed for a time.
Fire crews conducted 'dampening' operations throughout the night and the road has since re-opened.
