Five Remain In Custody Over Dublin Gun Attack
Gardaí are continuing to question the five men held in connection with a suspected gangland shooting in west Dublin on Monday night. The five were arrested shortly after a 20-year-old man was shot in the stomach in the Cherry Orchard area of Ballyfermot.
The young victim, Mark Fagan, is currently fighting for his life, just days after being given temporary release from prison.
He remains in a serious but stable condition at St James's Hospital.
Fagan was last week let out on temporary release from Mountjoy after serving just half of his sentence.
The shooting is believed to have been carried out by associates of a gang leader who is involved in a bitter feud with a rival gang in the Crumlin-Drimnagh area.
However, the attack is not thought to be linked to the feud and may be connected with other matters.
The man's assailants left him for dead and drove away in a stolen Honda Civic, which was later found burnt out.
A short time later, officers from the Organised Crime Unit who had been in the area, intercepted two cars and arrested five men, four in their twenties and one aged 39.
It is not known whether Fagan was abducted and taken to the field, or went there willingly. He refused to cooperate with investigating officers on Tuesday.
