Man injured in Crumlin shooting named as Jonathan Kenny

A man who was hospitalised following a shooting in Crumlin in the early hours of Monday morning has been named locally as Jonathan Kenny.

Mr Kenny, aged in his 30s, was discovered wounded in the street at about 4am on Monday at Monasterboice Road, Crumlin in Dublin.

He was taken by ambulance to St James’s Hospital, Dublin, where his injuries are understood to be non-life-threatening.

Jonathan Kenny is understood to be the brother of Ian Kenny who died in 2009 after spending two years in a coma.

Ian Kenny was shot by Jonathan Dunne on July 4th, 2007 and was in a coma until his death.

Dunne claimed he was forced to carry out the shooting by unnamed persons who threatened his life and the lives of his family.

Dunne (28), from Windmill Park in Crumlin, was convicted in 2012 of the murder of Ian Kenny.

He was previously convicted of the attempted murder of Mr Kenny and having a firearm. After Ian Kenny’s death, Dunne was charged and convicted of murder and jailed for life.
