Gardaí are believed to be investigating whether the murder of a man in Ballyfermot yesterday followed a row earlier in the night.
49 year-old Michael Tormey, who has no known links to crime, was gunned down outside his house on Thomand Road.
The father of two had been out socialising on Saturday night before being shot shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday morning. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Reporter with the Irish Independent, Ciara O'Loughlin, says it's believed his wife and children were inside the house at the time;
"Currently Gardaí have yet to establish a motive however whether he had any personal rows which got out of control is being considered as he had no known links to crime."
No arrests have been made and Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Anyone with information, or road users who may have camera footage (including dash-cam), are being asked to contact Ballyfermot Garda Station on 01 666 7200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
