Gardaí in Kildare have arrested three men in connection with a serious shooting incident in Kilcock two years ago.

One of two men murdered in a gangland shooting spree at a quiet suburban housing estate was trying to flee his killers when he died, investigators have said.

Gardaí have said they intend to examine two burnt out cars reported to them overnight to see if they are linked to the double murder of two men in Co. Kildare.

A drug dealer and a teenager have been murdered in a gangland-style gun attack.

A 25-year-old man was shot in broad daylight today while he sat in his car in Blanchardstown, Dublin.
