Gardai are appealing for witnesses after a man was shot outside a church in Clondalkin yesterday evening.

The victim, a man in his 30s, was shot several times on the grounds of a Church at Bawnogue Road in Clondalkin.

He then drove himself to Clondalkin Garda Station and staggered inside at around 6.15pm before collapsing in front of the public desk.

An ambulance was called and he was taken to Tallaght hospital where he's being treated for gunshot wounds to the neck and body.

Crime scenes have been established at Bawnogue Church, Clondalkin Garda Station and part of Tower Road.

It's understood the injured man was well known to Gardai and a number of theories on a motive for the attack are now being investigated.

In the meantime, anyone with information is asked to come forward.

Bawnogue Church remains sealed off this morning and the man is said to be in a serious condition in hospital.

Given the time of the attack, Local Councillor Trevor Gilligan says it's a miracle nobody else was hurt
