A teenage boy is due in court as part of the investigation into a violent incident at a Blanchardstown restaurant on Christmas Eve which led to the deaths of two men.

Two murder investigations are under way after the shooting at Browne’s Steakhouse in Blanchardstown at around 8pm on December 24th.

Gunmen entered the restaurant and fired a number of shots, injuring Jason Hennessy Snr.

He was treated in hospital but died on January 4th from his injuries.
