Two men are due before court on Friday in relation to the death of a suspected gunman who was assaulted following a shooting in a Dublin restaurant on Christmas Eve.

Tristan Sherry, who was one of two suspected gunmen involved in the shooting, suffered fatal injuries after being tackled and assaulted inside the premises in Blanchardstown after the shooting.

One man has already appeared in court charged with Mr Sherry’s murder.

Last week, Michael Andercut, 22, with an address in Sheephill Avenue, Corduff, was charged with murder during a special sitting of the Criminal Courts of Justice.

Two other men who were arrested by gardaí are due to appear before a sitting of Blanchardstown District Court on Friday morning.

The man who was shot in the initial gun attack inside Browne’s Steakhouse in Blanchardstown died on Thursday, gardaí said.

Jason Hennessy Senior, who was in his 40s, was also shot during the incident, and later died in hospital.

Mr Hennessy, who was known to gardaí, was treated at Dublin’s Connolly Hospital and then transferred to the city’s Mater Hospital, where he died.

A second murder investigation has been launched after Mr Hennessy’s death.
