Three of the men, all in their 20s, were arrested in connection with the gangland shooting of Lee Boylan (24) of Blanchardstown, Co Dublin on the evening of March 6th.

Mr Boylan was shot 10 times in the neck and body as he sat in a white Volkswagen van on Blakestown Road, Dublin 15. He survived though he was badly injured. His father Noel was shot last week. He too survived.

A fourth man was arrested in Limerick by local detectives and a number of homes were also searched in connection with the shooting of Lee Boylan.

The searches in Dublin and Limerick are part of an ongoing strategy tackling organised crime gangs.

All four males currently in custody in Blanchardstown and Finglas Garda Stations are being detained under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007.
