The man who shot himself in a Dublin Garda station on Monday night has died in hospital.
He died shortly after 4.00 p.m. in the Mater Hospital, where he had been on a life-support machine.
The man walked into the Fitzgibbon Street Garda Station in Dublin’s north inner city at around 6 p.m. on Monday and shot himself in the head with a handgun.
Three gardaí were on duty in the reception area at the time of the shooting, as well as the member of the public.
The dead man is a 39-year-old former INLA member from Belfast and is known to police on both sides of the border.
He was sentenced to life in prison for conspiracy to murder in the mid-1980s as part of one of the high-profile "supergrass" trials. He was also charged with firearms offences in the 1990s.
