Dublin

According to a report in the Sunday Independent,  the individuals responsible for the terror attack in London on Saturday June 3 this year had initially earmarked Dublin as their target.

It is understood that 27-year-old Khuram Shazad Butt and 31-year-old Rachid Redouan had considered the Irish capital as a possibility, with the paper reporting that the extremists had deliberated over particular landmarks in the capital.

“Khuram Shazad Butt and Rachid Redouane, who together with a third accomplice, were shot dead by police during the London Bridge attack carried out reconnaissance two years ago on a number of high-profile locations in Dublin that they had identified as potential targets,” reads the report.

It has been established that London became the terror target after those involved decided that Dublin would serve them in other ways.

It is understood that extremists believed that the Irish capital “would suit Isis better as a logistics base from where internet frauds could be carried out to raise funds.”

The terror attack in London at the beginning of June claimed the lives of eight people and injured dozens more.

Gardaí have launched a full investigation following the shooting of a 28-year-old man in Dublin last night.

The victim, a fitness instructor from Lucan, was shot a number of times as he sat in his car outside City West shopping centre.

The man was treated for multiple gunshot wounds at the scene but was pronounced dead a short time later.

It's understood the victim is known to Gardaí and was a friend of Darragh Nugent, who was shot in Clondalkin last week.

Gardaí are now investigating whether or not the two shootings were linked.

Anyone who was in the area between 9pm and 9.30pm and may have information is asked to contact Tallaght Garda Station on 01-666 6000, the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666111 or any garda station.

Ireland’s domestic violence problem is largely unreported and misunderstood, a fact that drastically needs to change.

Sadly, some 300,000 people – from all walks of life – have been severely abused by a partner in Ireland at some stage, and 2 in 5 people know someone who has experienced domestic violence.

And that is exactly why Cosc’s #MyDoorsOpen campaign is so important; victims need to know that they are not alone.

In a bid to raise awareness of the importance of helping those who are suffering in silence, Cosc, The National Office for the Prevention of Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Violence, organised two actors to have an argument on the streets of Dublin.

On display for the public, the fight continued as the couple entered an apartment; what happens behind the closed door is clearly visible from the shadows on the curtains.

Thankfully, this couple is only acting, but for so many people this is real life.

The aim of the initiative, which supports The Department of Justice and Equality’s domestic violence campaign, ‘What would you do?’,  is to reduce the number of those who experience domestic abuse by letting victims know that they are not alone.

By sharing #MyDoorsOpen, you can let your social circle know that if one of them is a victim, you’ll be there for them.

While you cannot make someone leave a relationship if they are not ready to do so, you can still be there for them until they are ready.

Brought to you by

Over 300,000 people in Ireland have been severely abused by a partner at some point in their lives. If you have witnessed or experienced domestic violence/abusive behaviour by a partner, or you are concerned you have abused someone, you can prevent it from happening again.

So, in case you weren't aware, there's a pretty big event coming up in the Irish sporting calendar.

This Sunday, Dublin senior footballers will take on Mayo in the GAA All Ireland Final, and it's safe to say people are rather excited about the epic clash.

However, it looks like some GAA fans will be left disappointed after Dublin City Council has confirmed it will not be showing the match on a big screen in Smithfield.

It was previously feared that the event would not go ahead due to the excessive cost of putting it together, though a statement from those in charge has confirmed the decision was made over concerns for local residents.

"To organise three large events in a row, with separate build and take down requirements, is considered an unfair imposition on residents in the area", a statement read.

Dublin City Council said it wants to "apologise for any confusion that may have arisen and wish the Dubs all the best".
