From top: scene of Tuesday’s shooting in Lugmore in the Mount Seskin area of Tallght; Today’s Irish Sun
This morning.
As Keith Conlon, 35, who was shot in the head on Tuesday while out hunting rabbits on rural farmland in Tallaght seconds after his lurcher was shot dead, remains in a coma…
…via The Irish Sun:
The Irish Sun can reveal Senior Counsel Diarmuid Rossa Phelan, in his 50s, is being questioned in connection with the shooting.
He is a fellow of Trinity College and of the European Law Institute. He is also a member of the Board of Trinity and was Chair of the Fellows at the facility until 2018.
We understand Phelan raised concerns about trespassers on his land with cops in recent weeks. It led him to erecting more signs since the start of the year warning people to keep off his property.
We can also reveal the leading legal eagle had numerous firearms licences for various weapons at his home in Tallaght.
One theory is that Keith may have been struck by mistake when Phelan fired warning shots after noticing his dog on his land.
Phelan could be hit with reckless discharge of a firearm or more serious charges.
