A man in his 20s is recovering in hospital after being shot in Dublin yesterday evening.

It happened at Belcamp Crescent in Coolock at around 7:30pm.

Witnesses say a silver Volkswagen Boro pulled up, and a passenger got out, before shooting the victim twice with a handgun.

The victim is being treated at Beaumont Hospital for gunshot wounds to his leg.

Investigations are continuing, and gardaí are appealing for witnesses to contact Coolock Garda Station on 01 6664200.

Local Sinn Féin councillor Mícheál Mac Donncha has condemned the latest incident.

He explained: "It's very distressing for everybody in the area.

Unfortunately, we're seeing these incidents around the city.

Cllr Mac Donncha added: "Certainly we need more gardaí on the ground, and that includes community gardaí."
