Man Arrested In Connection With Finglas Shooting

Gardai investigating the shooting of a man in Dublin have arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with the incident.

The shooting took place in the Cardiffsbridge Road in Finglas on the morning of November 15. Police made the arrest in the Ballymun area of the city.

The 41-year-old man injured in the incident remains in the Mater Hospital, where he is recovering from his injuries.

He had been shot a number of times and was removed from the scene by ambulance to the Mater Hospital where his condition was described as being critical but is now stable.

The man was initially shot as he sat in a car and was shot again as he tried to make his way to the garden of a house.

Gardaí say a handgun was used during the incident, and that in the aftermath of the shooting the investigation team undertook a number of searches across the city turning up a van, which was also believed to have been involved in the shooting.

The arrested man is currently being detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act at Finglas Garda Station.
