A man in his 20s remains in a critical condition in hospital following a shooting incident in south Dublin yesterday.

The man was shot in the head whilst in a car with two other men in front of a shopping area on Lakelands Road in Stillorgan. He was then thrown out of the vehicle.

A short time later, a gun and a quantity of cannabis were recovered in a burned out car in Dargle Wood in Knocklyon.

The attack is understood to be linked to a feud between two drug trafficking gangs.

Gardaí are questioning two men, aged 21 and 22, in relation to the attack.

They can be held for up to 72 hours.
