A man is set to appear in court charged in connection with the brutal fatal shooting of Thomas McCarthy in west Dublin last July.
The victim, who was in his 50s, was shot up to eight times after answering the door of the house in Croftwood Park in Ballyfermot, to a lone, masked hitman on the morning of July 27.
The man charged, who is in his 30s, will appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice this morning at 10:30am.
Mr McCarthy was not involved in crime and was targeted after being dragged into a personal dispute, it is believed.
Thomas had only returned to his family home in Croftwood Park a week before the brutal murder.
He had been living in Southend on Sea in England where he had raised a family.
A garda statement this morning read: "Gardai investigating the fatal shooting of a man in his 50s that occurred in Ballyfermot on Monday, 27th July, 2020, have charged a man in his 30s in connection with this incident.
"The man is expected to appear at the Criminal Courts of Justice, Dublin, Court 3, on the morning of Thursday, 11th November, 2021, at 10:30am."
