A man in his early 50s is recovering in hospital after he was shot in Dublin last night.

The man was shot twice in the lower body at a house in Casement Park in Finglas shortly after 8pm last night.

Gardaí say at least five shots had earlier been fired into the house.

The victim was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown with injuries that are described as not life-threatening.

The incident is believed to be connected to a shooting at the Cappagh House pub on Barry Road in Finglas on Sunday.

It is understood the victim of last night's shooting is the father of the 24-year-old man who was shot two days ago.

No arrests have been made in connection with the latest incident.
