Body Found In Dublin

Gardaí have launched an investigation following the discovery of a body in the Finglas area of Dublin.

Officers have sealed off the area after the discovery of the body of a man on Dunsoghly Lane, The Ward, Co. Dublin.

The body was found shortly after 9.00pm on Thursday evening.

The area is under Gardaí supervision and crime scene examiners from the Garda Technical Bureau are at the location. The State Pathologist has been notified of the discovery.

The body, which has not been identified, remains at the scene.

It is not known if the discovery is related to the two shooting incidents in the area that occurred this week, during which a father and son were injured in separate attacks.

The attacks were believed to be related to an ongoing feud in the Finglas area.
