Two men are being questioned following an incident at the weekend in which a number of shots were fired at gardaí following a botched gun attack.
The men were arrested when gardaí chased two suspected gangland criminals whom they believe attempted to flee the scene of a gun attack on Saturday night at the home of a woman targeted in a case of mistaken identity.
The two men being questioned about the shootings are believed to be members of one of two crime gangs involved in a gangland feud in Dublin's neighbouring Crumlin and Drimnagh suburbs.
The feud has cost 15 lives, either directly or indirectly, in the past 10 years. Gardaí were alerted to a shooting incident on Keeper Road, Drimnagh, at around 11.30pm on Saturday. At least one round hit the front window of the property.
One of the suspects is in his mid-20s while the other is in his early 30s. Both men were taken for questioning to Crumlin and Sundrive Road Garda stations. They are being detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act and can be held for up to 72 hours without charge.
