Fatal Shooting at Dublin Restaurant Sparks Increased Police Patrols

Irish Prime Minister and Justice Minister condemn the Christmas Eve violence, believed to be gang-related, that left one man dead and another seriously injured.

A man in his 20s was killed and another man in his 40s seriously injured in a shooting incident at Browne's Steakhouse, a restaurant in Blanchardstown, Dublin, on Christmas Eve.
The incident occurred in front of families with children and is believed to be gang-related, possibly linked to an ongoing drugs and gun-related feud.
No arrests have been made yet, and the police have increased patrols in the Dublin region following the incident.
Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar and Justice Minister Helen McEntee have condemned the violence, expressing shock and disgust, especially given the family setting of the incident.
The police are investigating whether the deceased man was a participant in the initial attack and was tackled in the aftermath.
