Two people have been arrested in connection with a shooting in south Dublin last week.
A man aged in his 20s and a woman in her 30s were detained this afternoon are are currently being held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act at Terenure and Rathmines Garda stations.
The arrests come after a man was shot in an apparent punishment-style attack in a laneway behind a car garage in Harold's Cross last Wednesday.
Declan O'Reilly (31), Parnell Road, Crumlin, south Dublin, was shot three times in a laneway behind a car garage in Harold's Cross just after 6pm.
The shooting occurred at a laneway linking Harold's Cross Road to playing fields behind Kenilworth Motors.
Mr O'Reilly received gunshot wounds to his hands and arms during the incident.
Gardaí in Dublin are trying to establish if the shooting is in any way linked to Mr O'Reilly's acquittal on murder charges in February.
Mr O’Reilly’s family have already been the victims of a grenade attack linked to the same killing.
