A woman in her 40s has been arrested in connection with the shooting of Jamie Tighe Ennis following her extradition from the UK.

Mr Tighe Ennis, 24, of Timberhill Apartments, Artane was attacked on Moateview Avenue, Priorswood, Dublin 17 on October 28th 2017.

Mr Tighe-Ennis was walking home from a nearby pub with a group of friends when he was shot twice in the head by a gunman at around 2.20am in a suspected gang-related attack.

The father of one, who came originally from Darndale, was later pronounced dead at the scene.

A stolen Audi A3, which was believed to have been used as a getaway vehicle was later found partially burnt out on a green between The Griffith apartments and Prospect Hill in Finglas, about 10 kilometres away.

The woman is due to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Thursday.

Gardaí say investigations are ongoing.
