A man in his 20s was arrested and is being questioned at Finglas Garda station.

"You can imagine somebody in their 20s in the prime of their life, being cold shot in such a tragic way, and with all the hopes that they would have for the future for them and for their family. And now that's no more so, I think really really tragic and whatever we can do now to witnesses to come forward to try and ensure that justice is served here and that the food is discovered public records, all of those people in the area to do that."
