A MAN IN his thirties was critically injured in a shooting in Dublin and later pronounced dead.
Another man was also shot in the leg in the shooting which happened at Grange Lodge Avenue, Clongriffin in Dublin 13. The shooting happened just after 3.30pm.
A burnt-out car was discovered by gardai on Hole in the Wall Road shortly after they attended the shooting scene. Forensic experts are combing the scene at both locations and both areas are sealed off.
If you were in either the Grange Lodge Avenue or Hole in the Wall Road area this afternoon, gardai would like to hear from you at Coolock Garda station at 01 6664200.
TheJournal.ie has learned that one of the men hit in the shooting was known to gardai and had links to the Real IRA. More as we get it…

They are a perfect match for each other.
@ktsiwot: Tories and the Hillbillys
@ktsiwot: One group doesn’t like the Irish, the other loves all things british above all others.
@ktsiwot: Confused it with the previous headline.
@ktsiwot: they can call is ‘Cash for Sash’
@Stephen Devlin: Paid for by the British taxpayers…
@Tony Gordon: comment of the week
With such a pact comes the explicit violation of the principal of impartiality in the Good Friday Agreement. If it is acceptable to break that agreement to maintain a temporary British government in office, what must the EU negotiators be thinking regarding Brexit agreements? What credibility does this leave Westminster when talking with Brussels etc?
@Anthony James Mc Elwee: As it stands the European negotiators are looking aghast at how unprepared and incompetent the British side are, changing their mind by the day with no grasp on the larger issues not to mind the vast technical issues that are involved in such talks.
@ktsiwot: but there’s a difference between that and breaking an already existing and well established agreement that literally stopped people being killed
@Anthony James Mc Elwee: I understand, it gives us an insight into 2 issues. 1. How incompetent the current UK government are. 2. The English are ignorant and do not care about the north.
@Anthony James Mc Elwee: maybe the DUP will split the extra billion with Sinn Féin. That should solve it!!
@Anthony James Mc Elwee: ust if SF were in power down here nobody would be moaning….
This election must be the biggest own goal in history. Will May be still there in July??
@Elizabeth Hourihane: May will be in Drumcree on the 12th following orders in July.
@Elizabeth Hourihane: it’s still June but I’m sure May will be there in July
@michael: a very august comment!!!
@Micheal S. O’ Ceilleachair: I still think May will March in July.
@Elizabeth Hourihane: if she pays yes. ..
@Brian Farrell: as long as her good friend April will March with June!!!
@Micheal S. O’ Ceilleachair: Huh?
The deal will be beneficial to Northern Ireland?? Correction, it will be beneficial to one segment of the Northern Ireland population only. Therefore it will further divide and alienate the other half of the population there. So how can that be good for Northern Ireland?
@David Knight: increase spending on public services . So nationalists don’t send their kids to public schools or use the Heath service . Are you attempting to say that that a unionist benefits more from public services then a nationalist . The government of NI is share government and increase spending on public services will benefit everyone in NI .
@Tommy Whelan: Go away outa that Tommy with your rose tinted glasses!
Spare me the faux outrage from the good wee Republicans, who refuse to step up to the plate in any of the parliaments they are elected to.
When you’re ready to actually be involved in governing and not just populist BS, people may actually listen.
@MK76: They have good reason not to go to british power , remember the Ruc B-specials etc etc
Ah now Michael, you forgot the GFA.
You know the thing SF throw in everyone’s face the second they are questioned about their involvement in the murder and mayhem during the troubles.
It’s either time to move on or it’s not.
The most backward party in these islands now in power in the UK, only a matter of time before creationism is compulsory in the school curriculum and homosexuality is punished by hanging.
They are doing a deal on another three thousand pallets for the Twelfth celebrations.
@Chris Kirk: Either that or plugging the hole left over from the RHI farce…
Wont last at all, but it ll be good for the English people to be confronted with what the Empire has created , DUP the party of tolerance and inclusiveness.
@John Walsh: didn’t the Irish along side its neighbours create the empire .
@Tommy Whelan: It’s a bit early to be hitting the hard stuff,is it not?
@Tommy Whelan: __ “The Irish won the Empire, the Scots and the Welsh administered it, and the English lost it”.
And the fun is about to begin
Orange is the new blue.
It seems odd that so many people don’t know the official name of the conservative party .
”The Conservative and Unionist Party”
@Ken Hayden: True but that applied to the UUP, even the currents nuts(DUP) are considered distasteful to the Torys.
May spending the ordinary tax payers money to keep herself in power. Much and all as I despise the DUP I hope they screw the Tory’s for everything the British tax payers got, that of course is assuming the money is spent on infrastructure in the north. It could be the last big spend there for a long time.
@mickmc: touch of the Haughey and FF buy votes with the electorate’s own money. If May had any principle worth anything she’d walk from the smug on steroids DUP hostage situation and let Boris Johnson take the Conservatives into an election and send Foster back empty handed – greed greed greed and self-serving politics at its worst. Mind you, we’ve had worse here and continue to
@Gerry Carroll: its conservative last chance for Power ever.
Can’t see the problem here . The DUP in bed with the conservatives can only be a good thing for NI . Their in a great position to fight for extra money for public services . It’s funny how people don’t have a problem with Sinn Fein sitting in Leinster house .
Tommy Whelan. Sinn Fein members were elected to sit in leinster house. Do you have a problem with that??
@ray.farrelly: I have a problem with that. Means that there’s a shed load of muppets voting for SF.
@Tommy Whelan: problem with democracy there Tommy?
A DUP/TORY pact is at least against the spirit and aims of the GFA, if not illegal in face of that democratically enacted international agreement!!!
@M Bowe: Sinn Fein has already stated that it would accept the pact if it ment an increase in public spending in the north .
@M Bowe: yet you would have no issue with GFA and SF in power down here
@Paul: what issues arise from the GFA and Sinn Fein having democratically elected TDs in Dail????
@ray.farrelly: And the DUP were elected to sit in Westminster…
@Jimmy Ireland: you’re probably the biggest muppet of all. Go back into your cave
That’s tories for you. They don’t care who they sleep with, as long as they get to be on top.
In the UK it’s with the DUP whereas the Irish tories are in bed with FF.
Begging bowl unionism at its worst. If ‘our ‘precious union’ is so precious, why does the DUP need a billion quid to do a deal?
@Paul Devlin: The irony is that if they remained within the EU they could get many billions in grants and support which would go much further in the long run. This is fools gold.
@Chris Kirk: exactly, Chris, but as Nelson McCausland said on Radio Ulster, the DUP wanted brexit regardless of the cost. That’s why I don’t believe they want a soft border. They say it but insist on getting out of the customs union. I think they want checkpoints on the main roads and smaller crossings blocked it torn up like during the troubles
I’ll give this toxic coalition of chaos six months.
You would do well to find 2 more offensive looking creatures on the planet.
@Rob Cahill: Well now, there IS that barf-inducing picture of Trump and Farage together…
Turns out there was a magic money tree after all
A true leader would accept the election result and run a minority government across the political divide.
As an English man I’m totally ashamed of my government. It’s not representative of me and many of my native people. As I have lived in Ireland for 16 years I will be applying for citizenship so not to have to worry about future developments for the UK. I must add i have never seen Northern Ireland as British and never will.
Not really it will be more like 600m seeing as the DUP blew 400m of taxpayers money
delighted to see the six counties get a windfall ,take it and spend as quick as you can ,may wont last, the knifes are out for her already. when someone like paton tells you they are toxic ,it carry s substantial weight .
@Anthony Gallagher: one billion, the price of loyalty.
Does that cover the cost of her heating Grant fiasco?
The DUP are May’s Foster children!!!?
The Tories are now putting people live in danger, the troubles will be back because of this mess.
@Ossi Fritsche: why would SF getting into Government down south be any different??
Mary Lou will be on a microphone soon, surrounded by the party, smiling pleasantly, extolling the great deal the DUP has secured for the citizens of Northern Ireland.
A weak PM and a weakened Conservative Party cannot maintain an effective negotiating position with the EU over Brexit.
Nothing like a bit of hypercorruption.
At least NI found a new source of revenue to replace the EU.
Fleg preservation was a big part of the deal.
Disaster they can’t even agree to run 6 counties
As Maggie said out,out,out, May said in,in,in lol
Don’t know why May went to all this trouble….DUP were never going to bring down the Tory government and have chance for Corbyn to be in power….Think this government will last a few years at least 3…
@John003: it will be up to Ruth Davison to get a cash deal for the Torys in Scotland now, lets see if she is up for the task.
God help us.So bigotry and hatred gets a nod of approval.
What does Patton mean “Tell that to the Marines”?
@Metempsychosis: It’s a figure of speech.
That’ll pay for the Cash-4-ash scandal then.
“Cash For Sash!”
I can’t see much of that money going west of the Bann
You really can make a ‘deal with the devil ‘ . What people will do for power !
What a price to pay to stay in Number10
£1.5 billion isn’t that expensive for a ‘precious union’.
SF should jump in there now and see what price the Brits will pay to sell out the precious union!
I was under the impression that Northern Ireland voted against leaving the E.U yet the D.U.P can just ignore the wishes of the people and engage in bargaining politics with the British government and vote the exact opposite
That wasn’t 70 days…?
:(
The Sinners must be getting sick in their cornflakes.
Arlene Foster is the Northern Ireland Jackie Healy Rae……All the potholes will be filled on the roads….
Here’s a billion pounds to back a unconstitutional election result in a country that didn’t vote for said result. Sounds about right…
have your say
