Progress ‘close’ in Connors probe

Gardaí investigating the gangland murder of Andy Connors are said to be "quietly confident" of making progress.

Detectives have been working non-stop since Mr Connors was gunned down in his own home at around 11pm on Tuesday.

The 45-year-old was shot a number of times in the chest at close range with a handgun in the hallway and the bedroom of his house, at Boherboy, in the Saggart area of south west Dublin.
