A man in his early 40s and a woman in her late 30s have been arrested in connection with the shooting and are being detained under the provisions of Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2007.

A Garda spokesperson said investigations are ongoing.

Gardaí are continuing to appeal for anyone with information in relation to the incident to get in touch – in particular, anyone who may have been in the Thomond Road, Landen Road, Kylemore Road or the general Decies area between 3.30am and 5.30am on Sunday.

Gardaí said earlier this week they do not believe Mr Tormey was involved in crime.
