Senior IRA man and sons arrested in shooting probe

The 29-year-old father-of-two was left in a vegetative state after being shot in the head when he answered a ring to the door of his house in Tallaght, Dublin, in October 2008.

Gardaí believe he was shot as a result of breaking up a fight at a pub. One of the people involved in the fight was a son of a well-known Dublin republican.
