A MAN WHO was being questioned by gardaí in connection with Friday night’s shooting in the Ballyfermot area of Dublin has been released without charge.
A man in his late 30s sustained a gunshot wound to the leg in the attack, which happened at Cleggan Road at around 8.40pm on Friday.
In a follow up operation, gardaí arrested a 40-year-old man in the Ballyfermot area.
He was released from Ballyfermot Garda Station last night, gardaí confirmed. A file on the case will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The man’s shooting, which was witnessed by his child, has been condemned locally.
“This is totally unacceptable. It also put the life of an innocent child at risk. I can only imagine the trauma that this will cause this child,” Sinn Féin councillor Daithí Doolan said.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to contact Ballyfermot Garda Station on 01-6667200, The Garda Confidential Telephone Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.

Bashing farmers and Rural Ireland again…. This is a stunt by ABP and Kepak to pull the price they are paying farmers for their stock.
While the factory gets 3x times the profit at the other side of the gate when the carcass leaves in a refrigerated trailer.
@Luka Roche: There’s not enough beef processing companies in Ireland. It’s effectively a monopoly and needs to be investigated as such. They also treat their workers like dirt.
It’s a stunt by China also. Irish beef is the cleanest and amongst the most highly traced and inspected in the world. The Chinese will be buying dirt cheap hormone laden beef from some other part of Oceania or Asia instead.
Why are the comments closed on the Andrew Conway item?! This is gone beyond a joke.
Why are cows fed brain tissue or did I read that right. The animals have no choice in what they are eating I was shocked to read this I have to say I was ignorant to all this before.
@Emer Daly: They’re not fed that in Ireland since the 90s.
@Finn Barr. They are not supposed to be fed that since the 90s.
We all know that farmers, especially cattle farmers ALWAYS follow the rules.
Is cultured meat and indeed cultured dairy products the answer for those that want to eat meat and dairy? If these products were manufactured in a laboratory instead, would the result be healthier for humans, better animal welfare, and be much kinder on the environment?
