A 28-year-old man has been hospitalised following a shooting at a pub in the Co Meath village of Duleek last night.

Gardaí say a man entered the Carranstown Lodge just before 11pm and fired a number of shots at the victim from a handgun, wounding him in the stomach.

The two men subsequently became involved in a struggle and the weapon fell the floor.

The gunman left the scene and fled in a waiting SUV-type vehicle driven by an accomplice.

The injured man was taken to hospital in Drogheda, where his condition is said to be stable.

A loaded firearm was recovered at the scene, which is being forensically examined this morning.
