Two people are still being questioned by gardaí as part of their investigation into the shooting of a man in Dublin last week.

A 22-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man are being held at Malahide and Coolock Garda stations. Both are being held under Section 30 of the Offences Against The State Act and can be held for up to 72 hours.
