A man has been arrested following a shooting incident in Co Dublin on Tuesday where another man was shot in the head.
Gardaí are investigating the incident which occurred in the Hazel Grove area of Tallaght, Co Dublin.
Gardaí, along with emergency services, attended the scene shortly after 1pm.
A man, aged in his 30s, was treated for what is believed to be a gun shot wound. He was taken to Tallaght University Hospital where he remains in critical condition.
A second man, aged in his 50s, was arrested at the scene. He is currently detained at Tallaght Garda station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939.
The scene is being preserved for a technical examination, due to be conducted by the Garda Technical Bureau, and a legally held firearm has been seized and will now be sent examination.
As reported in The Irish Times, while the investigation into the incident is at an early stage, gardaí believe the injured man may have been on privately owned farm lands with his dog when a dispute broke out.
The dog, believed to be owned by the injured man, was also shot during the incident, which is not believed to be related to gangland or organised crime.
Gardaí are trying to establish if the man who fired the shot had challenged the other man about why he was in the area.
Gardaí have appealed for anyone with information who may have been in the area to contact Tallaght Garda Station on 01-666 6000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800-666 111 or any Garda station.
