Gardaí investigate possible gangland connection after Dublin shooting
A member of a gang involved in a violent feud in south Dublin sustained serious injuries to his face and body, but escaped with his life in the shotgun attack.
Detectives yesterday said they would investigate whether the shooting was part of the ongoing feud, which has claimed at least eight lives in the last five years. But senior officers stressed they had no evidence the attack was linked. “This gentleman was involved in so much, it’s very hard to specify a particular reason,” said one detective.
