A man is due to appear in court tomorrow charged in relation to a shooting on a farm in Co Wicklow.

The 22-year-old man was arrested after Séamus O’Byrne (50), was wounded once in the upper body when he was shot by a man armed with a shotgun at Three Wells farm near Aughrim yesterday afternoon.

Mr O'Byrne is in a serious condition in St Vincent's hospital in Dublin.

Gardaí believe the attack is linked to a personal matter and say it is not connected to gangland crime.
The suspect is a local man known to Mr O'Byrne. He will appear at Bray District Court tomorrow morning.
