Paul Donnelly, Sinn Féin TD for Dublin West, said he understood no one had been injured in the fire.
He said it appeared there had been damage to seven apartments in the building during the fire, with some residents expecting to be left homeless on Sunday evening as a result.
Mr Donnelly said it was expected many residents would be allowed back into the building later on Sunday.
