Local councillor, Neil Ring, said locals are saddened that a young life has been taken: "The whole family are devastated because of this. What’’s worrying me is if some retaliation might be taken.

The scene of the incident was sealed off for a technical examination and an incident room has been established at Mountjoy Garda Station.
