A man shot in a gang-related incident in Dublin yesterday remains in a critical condition in hospital.

The man in his thirties was shot in the neck and upper body at a Topaz garage beside a hotel on the Clonshaugh Road near Dublin Airport.

He was fired at by a gunman in a black 08 Lexus, which was later found burnt out in Ardee, County Louth.
