Statement by the Minister for Justice and Equality, Frances Fitzgerald
Tonight's fatal shooting in Dublin is another deplorable example of the ruthlessness of gangland criminals. It seems that some gangs are intent on waging a feud where human life counts for nothing.
The Gardaí will take all necessary steps to try to prevent further bloodshed but we have to recognise the challenges they face. Members of gangs who have fears for their safety should come forward to the Gardaí.
I will be meeting with the Garda Commissioner and her senior officers tomorrow.
