Gardaí in Tallaght investigating a fatal shooting in September 2017 have arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with the incident.

Lidl has indicated that it may close one of its stores in west Dublin after it was wrecked last Friday by burglars, rather than build a larger one nearby as it had already planned.
