A man in his 20s has been arrested after a woman was seriously injured in a shooting incident in north Dublin.

Emergency services were called to Shangan Park in Ballymun on Sunday afternoon.

The gunman is understood to have fled the scene, and the woman, aged in her 50s, was treated on site for her injuries which are said to be serious but not life-threatening.

She was then taken to hospital and a technical examination of the scene was carried out.
