Two Men Questioned Over Tallaght Murder
Two men are being questioned by the gardai following a gun murder in Tallaght last night.
The alarm was raised shortly after half ten when a caller rang gardai about a shooting on Kiltalown Road.
A burning car was found less than a kilometre away near Citywest shortly after the shooting and two men, aged 28 and 18, were arrested soon afterwards.
The suspects are being questioned at Tallaght Garda Station where they can be held for up to 3 days.
The 35 year old victim, who has been named as Alan O'Neill, was rushed to Tallaght hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
The scene of the shooting has been sealed off, as is the area where a car was found burning.
A post mortem on the dead man's body due to take place at some stage today.
Gardai are appealing for witnesses to contact them.
