Two men have been killed and a teenage boy injured after gunmen opened fire on a car in west Dublin last night.

Gardai in Ronanstown are investigating the shooting incident, which occurred on the Neilstown Road at approximately 8.00pm yesterday evening.

Paul and Kenneth Corbally, aged 35 and 32, were both convicted criminals. They were pronounced dead at the scene after shots were fired into the car in which they were sitting along the Neilstown Road, Ronanstown. The teenager was also shot but his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.

A spokesman for Gardaí said: "Anyone who saw this car in the Clondalkin village or Neilstown Road area between 5pm and 8pm last night or following the shooting observed the car travelling on the Fonthill Road or in the Foxborough area - where it was found burnt out - is asked to contact Gardaí."
