Gardaí have arrested four people over a shooting in the Lucan area of Dublin on Wednesday.

The man aged in his early 40s was shot while he sat in his car at Griffeen Glen Park.

He was shot up to 10 times and was taken to Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown, where he is in a stable condition.

The suspects left the scene in a white VW Caddy van, which was later found burnt out nearby at Elm Way.

They are then believed to have transferred to an Opel Vectra, which was found in Liffey Valley Park in Lucan after being set on fire.

A third car - a Toyota Avensis - was then used, and it was later found on fire at Blind Lane in Fassaroe in Bray.
