Gardaí are still questioning two men arrested following the shooting of pub owner Charlie Chawke in Goatstown, Dublin yesterday.

Mr Chawke, the owner of the Goat Grill, was shot and relieved of €50,000 while en route to the bank from the premises at lunchtime yesterday.

He remains in a serious but stable condition in St Vincent's University Hospital, but it is not yet clear when he will be discharged.

The two suspects can be held for up to 72 hours after the time of arrest.
