Gardai in Dublin are searching for a gunman who shot a man outside his house and then fled on a bicycle.

The 32-year-old is being treated for gunshot wounds at Beaumont Hospital.

He had been standing outside his north Dublin home in Belcamp Grove in Priorswood when the incident happened.

The gunman, who was wearing a hooded top, was on a bicycle at the time when he approached the man and opened fire.

He then fled the scene in the direction of the Link road in Coolock.
