Four people have been detained after a man in his 40s was blasted with up to 10 bullets in Lucan on Wednesday afternoon.
The victim, who remains in a stable condition in hospital, had a lucky escape after crawling out of the driver seat of his car and fleeing to a nearby house in Griffeen Glen Park as the hit team fired bullets at the windscreen.
It is believed the hit team used three different vehicles following the attack which were found burnt out in various locations.
Gardai are appealing to witnesses, or motorists who may have dash cam footage of suspicious activity, in the Kilcock, Lucan and Bray areas to contact them.
