    The guy is dead according to a friend in the area.

    Why are the media saying he is critical?


    It's FAKE NEWS, Donald.

    Another person, possibly a woman, was also shot and their condition is unknown.

    Around about 50 shots were fired.

    Fake news RTÉ don't have it yet.

    50 shots would be beyond anything yet by a massive long shot.

    He was known to AGS.

    Apparently a recovering addict.

    Any theories why he'd be targeted?

    50+ rounds fired - they meant business.

    Judging by his facebook page, defo an addict or recovering addict.

    You never know with these things, id say this could be personal rather than gang related.

    A lot of weird shi t happens in Ballymun.

    According to RTE wording, it's saying that the rounds went into the house, could be anyone really, if it is a case of 50 rounds fired at a house, we have really reached a new threshold in gangland activity, 50 rounds is basically anyone is game ball for a killing.

    Gardai know pretty much every single gang member in Ireland. They could all be arrested in one day.

    I can never understand why they are not simply arrested and jailed.

    I'm guessing stupid judiciary.

    I suppose as long as it's happening in somewhere like Ballymun it's grand.

    The whole front of the house is riddled.

    All bar the top right window is shattered.

    A bullet ricotched and went through a window across the road, grazing a woman.

    Hrs clearly not ERU or he'd know that they would have been despatched as they are paramedics, and are still on-scene due to the need to process their movements at the crime scene.
