Units from Wicklow and Rathdrum Fire Services attended the scene at 8.30 a.m. and quickly had the situation under control, though the Brinks van was totally destroyed.
The money carried on board the van was secured in a fire-proof container and it was hoped that the cash was still salvageable following the blaze.
The road was closed for a short period while the Fire Services tackled the flames.
