No arrests have been made but Gardai say investigations are ongoing.
The scene of the attack has been sealed off for a technical exam.
Local Sinn Féin Cllr. Daithí Doolan has criticised the attack.
"The attack last night in Bluebell was wrong. It was totally unacceptable. A young man is seriously injured. A community is frightened and traumatised. I want to wish the young man a full and speedy recovery. My thoughts are with him and his family at this difficult time.
"Those involved need to face justice. I would strongly encourage anyone with information to please contact the Gardaí.''
