Gardaí have appealed to the public for information after a man was beaten up during an armed burglary in Dublin this morning.

Shortly after 8am, two men wearing balaclavas and armed with a knife and a gun gained entry to a house at Glen Drive in Cabinteely.

They beat up the man who was later treated at Loughlinstown hospital, and made off with cash and a firearm.

One of the raiders is 6" 2', of big build and in his late 20s, the other is 5" 7', of stocky build and in his early 20s.
