Gardaí yet to speak to shooting victim

Gardaí are waiting to interview a man who survived a second point blank assassination attempt in the space of a year.

However, it is believed Gerard O’Neill’s partner and their two children have relocated from the Dublin area for fear of being targeted by gunmen.

Mr O’Neill, 33, from Sheriff St Lower in Dublin’s north inner city was shot and injured by two gunmen, on a motorbike, just after 9.15pm on Tuesday. Bullets pierced the window of his silver C-reg 2004 Mercedes.
