A man is recovering in hospital after being shot in Dublin last night.
The attack happened in Ballymun at around quarter to ten.

A man in his 40s was shot in the leg in the Coultry Crescent area of Ballymun shortly before 10 o clock.
He was taken to the Mater hospital for treatment and his injuries are not believed to be life threatening.
