The Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan has condemned the gun attack and is appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
Local Labour Senator Aodhán O'Riordáin says Minister Charlie Flanagan needs to take swift action;
"The government have acted before in the north inner city, they need to act now and I can't keep making this call every time somebody gets shot or somebody gets murdered."
A forensic exam of the scene is continuing and arrangements are being made for a post-mortem examination later today.
An incident room has been set up at Coolock Garda Station. Officers are appealing to witnesses to come forward.
They are particularly interested in anyone with dashcam footage from 4pm onwards.
