Latest: Man (27) killed in shooting in West Dublin

Update 5.10pm: A 27-year-old man has been shot dead in West Dublin.

The victim, who it is believed is related to the Hutch family, was killed at a halting site in Ronanstown.

Details of this shooting are still emerging but it is understood a man in his 20s was sitting in his car when he was shot shortly after 3pm at the Bridgeview Halting Site in Ronanstown.

Emergency services were called to the scene and worked on the victim but he died a short time later.

The victim is believed to be related to the Hutch family and Gardaí are now investigating if the death is related to the ongoing gangland feud in Dublin.

A car was found on fire a short distance away at Crag Avenue Business Park, and that scene - along with the scene of the shooting - have been sealed off.

An incident room has been established at Lucan Garda Station where investigating Gardaí will conduct a case conference later this evening.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to contact the incident room.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Lucan Garda Station 01-6667300, Ronanstown Garda Station 01-6667700 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
