A man is in stable condition in hospital after being shot in Blanchardstown yesterday.
The shooting happened in the Castlecurragh area of Mulhuddart shortly after 5pm.
The man, who's in his thirties, was shot - twice - after being approached by two men wearing balaclavas
He was rushed to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown with serious injuries.
Local Sinn Fein Councillor Paul Donnelly says it's deeply disappointing given the amount of effort made in recent weeks to crack down on gun crime in the area, and he's praised Gardai for the speed of their response.
Two cars were later removed from the scene of the shooting and Garda forensics teams are examining a burnt-out car found nearby in the Huntstown area.
As yet it's not known if both sites are connected.
Gardaí say no arrests have been made.
