Gardaí appeal for witnesses after shots fired at two houses in Dublin

The houses were unoccupied at the time and no one was injured.

GARDAÍ ARE APPEALING for witnesses after shots were fired at a house in Dublin 22 yesterday evening. 

Gardaí arrived at the scene in Fonthill Cottages, Clondalkin at 8.50pm and noticed a number of apparent bullet holes in the front windows at two separate dwellings.

The scene was sealed off and a technical examination was carried out by the Divisional Scenes of Crime Unit. 

The houses were unoccupied during the incident and no one was injured. No arrests have been made. Investigations are ongoing.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone who was in the area at the time or who may have witnessed any vehicle – particularly a Black Audi or a Silver Volkwagen Golf – to contact Gardaí.

Gardaí are also appealing for any road users who may have camera footage and were travelling in the area at the time to contact Lucan Garda Station on 01 666 7300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

    An Garda should be routing out these Dublin based crims rather than trying to besmirch Sinn Fein. These shootings have been going on for far too long.
    Just offer E5000 for information leading to the arrest & conviction of those with illegal firearms and make it a mandatory 5 year jail for the offenders.

    IMO, a million Euros would clear the city of illegal firearms and put a few hundred behind bars for 5 years.

    At present it’s costing multiples of this per year passively policing these crims.

    @Moorooka Mick: all you Sinn Fein members should don your finest military attire and goose step around Clondalkin and Coolock to keep the local community safe.
