LAST UPDATE | 3 Dec 2021
GARDAÍ IN TALLAGHT have issued a witness appeal after a man was shot twice in Cookstown this afternoon.
The man, in his 50s, was shot at a home at about 12:10pm.
He was rushed to Tallaght Hospital where he is in a serious condition.
Gardaí have recovered a firearm, and the scene has been sealed off for a technical examination.
They’ve appealed to anyone who was on the Cookstown Road between 11:45am and just after midday to come forward.
Officers are also seeking information about three vehicles that they believe were involved in the shooting.
Anyone with video footage of the scene, these cars or that could be of assistance to Gardaí has been asked to pass it on to the investigators.
An incident room has also been established at Tallaght Garda Station, and it’s being overseen by a Senior Investigating Officer.
No arrests have been made.

Fortunestown is Citywest not Tallaght.
@Eoin O’Neill:
@Eoin O’Neill: Jobstown Habibi !
@Eoin O’Neill: it’s Tallaght
@Seosamh Snr Nolan: Fortunestown Lane runs alongside Citywest shopping centre done towards Fortunestown Way, then to Jobstown. Like the Lidl that was wrecked was out the back of Citywest. But got lumped in with Tallaght.
@Hugh McCann: so you’re telling me I was working in Tallaght all those years, not Citywest. I am shocked…
@Eoin O’Neill: who cares…. The electorial catchment puts it in the townland of Saggart. It’s much of a muchness. Man shot in Dublin……… There fixed.
@slfc21: I don’t really care myself, but worked in the area for years just pointing out something… Kind of like this fella as the media thinks it sounds more like something Tallaght would do…
@Eoin O’Neill: haha I was thinking of that video when reading the comments.
@slfc21: it’s the serious monotone voice on your man that makes them hilarious.
@Eoin O’Neill: actually- it’s both
Glad no innocent bystandard got hurt…
Whoever set that car in fire really committed to the task
That chap in the previous article should be castr8ted!
Jesus I live by there AND I was out at that time. Wow!!!!!
@Anna Carr: I doubt very much that it’s a random shooting.
@Ann Neylan: never is. Probably drug gang related.
have your say
