Man Arrested In Connection With Sheriff Street Attack
A man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Gavin McCarthy last week.
The man in his 20s was arrested in Dublin's north inner city and is being detained in the Store Strreet Station under the offences against the state act.
Mr McCarthy died from multiple gunshot wounds to the head.
Fianna Fail TD Cyprian Brady spoke out over the attack, saying the killing was only a "symptom" of crime ongoing in the capital.
"This is not going to stop unless we tackle the issue of drug and gun crime from all sides and adopt a common approach; from early intervention and education to justice policies and the continuous provision of targeted community resources."
"I went straight down to the Sheriff Street area to speak to the local people last night and I couldn't get over the amount of young children running around the streets. It is only a matter of time before an innocent child or bystander is injured or killed."
The Minister also called for Government Departments, Government agencies, voluntary organisations, community organisations and community representatives to work together on a common crime prevention strategy.
