Cases
latest first- Man charged over fatal shooting in Ballymun, Dublin Shooting · Co. Dublin
Patrick 'Pappy' Lyons, a 44-year-old father of two, was shot five times and pronounced dead at the scene as he walked along Belclare Terrace in Ballymun, Dublin, at about 9pm on 11 February 2021. Gardaí suspected the killing was part of a localised dispute involving dangerous criminals and not linked to a wider gangland feud. A man in his 40s was arrested on 4 September 2023 and a man in his 50s on 5 September 2023; both were later released and a file was prepared for the DPP. On 5 July 2026, a man in his 40s was arrested and charged, and is due before Dublin District Court.
