Two arrests have been made in connection with a shooting last weekend, in which 50-year-old man was injured.
GARDAÍ INVESTIGATING A shooting in Dublin earlier this week have arrested two men and carried out a number of searches.
A number of shots were fired through the door of Paidi Óg’s in Mulhuddart in Blanchardstown at about midday on Saturday 2 April. A 50-year-old man was injured in the attack but his wounds are reportedly not life-threatening.
