Gardaí investigating the shooting of a man in his 50s in Finglas last night have recovered a car they believe may be connected to the incident.
The vehicle was found in a follow-up operation close to the location where a number of shots were fired at a house in Casement Park in Finglas at around 8pm.
A man in his early fifties was hit twice in the lower body after at least five shots were fired at the house. The victim was taken to Connolly Memorial Hospital in Blanchardstown where his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The man was standing in the doorway when he was shot.
Gardaí immediately sealed off an area around the house and a forensic examination is to take place later this morning.
Local sources have said the injured man is the father of a man in his 20s who was shot in a nearby pub at the weekend.
Two men walked into the Cappagh House pub, on Barry Road, Finglas, just after midnight on Saturday and shot the man, aged 24. He was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown and treated for minor injuries.
His condition is understood to be “stable”.
