Two men have been arrested over a shooting at a Dublin shopping centre in the early hours of New Year's Day.

Gardaí said two men were shot during an armed robbery at a take-away restaurant in the Edenmore Shopping Centre in Coolock.

Investigators said a man armed with what was described as a handgun entered the restaurant just after midnight.

He demanded cash and let off a number of shots.

Two staff members, aged 38-years-old and 28-years-old, received gunshot wounds and were taken to Beaumont Hospital.

Yesterday, Gardaí investigating the incident arrested two men on the north side of Dublin.

One of men, aged in his 40s, was due to appear in court this morning.

The second man, aged in his 50s, is still in custody.
