A spokesman for An Garda Siochana confirmed: “Gardai are investigating reports of shots being fired in the Mellows Avenue area of Finglas, Dublin 11, shortly before 10pm on Friday January 12, 2024.

No injuries were reported. The scene is being preserved for technical examination. Investigations are ongoing.”

A local source confirmed an innocent relative of the feuding criminal lives in the area where the shots were fired and said it is believed the incident was an attempt at intimidation.
