Gardaí are investigating a second gun attack at the Castleview apartments in Bluebell along the Naas Road area just after midnight on Tuesday.
This latest incident took place just outside the Castleview apartments in Bluebell. No injuries were reported following this attack, with just some minor damage to the block.
Gardaí attended the scene, with a garda spokesperson releasing this statement.
"Shortly after midnight on Wednesday 23rd September, 2026, Gardaí from Sundrive Road responded to reports of a firearm discharge outside an apartment complex on Naas Road, Dublin 12. No one was injured and only minor damage was caused to the property", they said.
"Investigations into the incident are ongoing." It is the second incident in the local area this week, after another attempted shooting just minutes away on the Jamestown Road in Inchicore on Monday night".
Following this incident, local Sinn Féin Councillor, Daithi Doolan has called on Justice Minister, Jim O'Callaghan to stop giving "the VIPs in Dublin Castle priority over local residents", in reference to the Castle serving as the primary headquarters for Ireland's EU Presidency and get more gardai on the streets.
“We have witnessed another night of gun violence here in the Inchicore, Bluebell area", he said. “Last night’s attack was the second gun attack this week and it’s only Wednesday. The Minister for Justice must get to grips with this serious violence".
He continued: "It appears that the VIPs in Dublin Castle are taking priority over local residents. This is unacceptable.
“People are genuinely nervous and anxious at the increase in gun violence. Communities deserve to go about their daily business in safety".
In direct message to Mr O'Callaghan, Mr Doolan stated: "I would appeal to Minister O’Callaghan to ensure Gardaí are made available to patrol and protect our communities. Anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant you think it is, should contact Gardaí. It is only by working together that we will keep our streets safe for everyone".
