A local newspaper said the attack took place at around 11pm, when a car pulled up outside the bar and masked man got out, before opening fire on the two as they stood outside the venue.

The gunman then fled in the car, the report continued, with both men dying at the scene.

A popular Irish-themed bar with locals, Monaghans was playing the Champions League final on Saturday evening, shortly before the incident.
