Gardaí have appealed for assistance following the murder of a 32-year-old man in Hartstown, Dublin 15, last night.

It is understood the man was standing outside a house on Oakview Way talking to his brother and sister when two cars pulled up across the road. The man crossed the road and a man got out of one of the cars and shot him twice in the body with a shotgun.
