Brother of murdered dissident shot dead

Gardaí in Dublin are again on high alert after a brother of a murdered dissident republican leader died last night following a gun attack.

Vincent Ryan was shot at least three times in the chest and neck on McKee Rd in Finglas around 3pm yesterday. It is understood he had just dropped off his partner and her child at her home.

He was in the driver’s seat of his car, a white VW Golf, when a silver/grey VW Golf pulled up beside him and a gunman opened fire, hitting him at least three times.
