Two men have been shot dead in Dublin in a nine-hour period.

A 33-year-old man was shot dead in Kippure Park in Finglas shortly after midnight.

Gardaí say the victim was from the area and that they are looking for one gunman.

They are appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or anyone who was in the area at the time to contact them at Finglas garda station.

They are awaiting the results of a post-mortem exam.
