A man from Northern Ireland has died following a shooting in the north side of Dublin city on Monday night.

The shooting appears to be the latest murder in an on-going gangland feud.

The man, who is in his mid-30s and originally from County Tyrone, was shot in the Sunset House bar near Croke Park at about 21:30 local time.

His name has not been released, although it is believed he was known to Gardaí (Irish police) for involvement with dissident republicanism.

The shooting appears to be the latest murder in an on-going gangland feud

A burnt-out car, believed to have been used in the shooting, was found nearby in the Drumcondra area.

Gardaí are keeping an open mind about who murdered the man, but are not ruling out the possibility that the killing is linked to an on-going gangland feud.

The violent dispute between the Hutch and Kinahan gangs has so far claimed the life of five men.

In February, a man was killed in a hotel that was hosting a weigh-in for a World Boxing Organisation fight in the city.

Days later, another man was murdered in what police believe was a reprisal for the Regency Hotel attack.
