A woman shot and wounded in a gun attack in Dublin on Saturday has undergone surgery and remains seriously ill in hospital after the attack.
The victim, who has no involvement in crime or dissident republicanism, was shot at a flat in the Bernard Curtis House complex in Bluebell, Dublin 8, at about 1pm on Saturday.
A man who was in the flat at the time was also wounded, though he managed to flee the scene. He was not as seriously injured as the woman and he was able to present himself later on Saturday for medical treatment.
