Awake Goy The incident happened at 7:45 pm on Poplar Row in Ballybough on the north side of the city. Gardai (police) believe it could be a revenge attack for a fatal shooting that took place in the city last Friday.

The victim is reported to be 56-year-old Eddie Hutch, brother of Gerry “The Monk” Hutch, a well-known Dublin gang boss, according to TheJournal.ie.
Four men were involved in the attack, but all fled the scene following the incident, national broadcaster RTE reported.
There is strong Garda presence in the area at the moment, with numerous emergency services at the scene.
The four men are said to have entered Hutch’s house and opening fire with handguns. The Independent reports Hutch was shot up to nine times, and died in the hallway.
A Volkswagen car was found near the scene with a petrol tank inside, suggesting it may have been intended to have been burnt out.
The feud between the two criminal gangs has escalated since Gary Hutch, nephew of Gerry and Eddie Hutch was shot dead in Spain last year.
The shooting at the Regency Hotel is thought to have been in retaliation for Gary Hutch’s death.
RTE reports Gardai believe Eddie Hutch’s death is in retaliation for the Regency attack, where David Byrne, an associate of the Kinahan crime gang was killed.
A general election was called days before the first murder, which took place in daylight at a boxing weigh-in. While Ireland has exited the €80 billion bailout, it remains €204 billion in debt and austerity politics was expected to dominate the campaign.
Eddie Hutch was not believed to be a violent criminal, although he is suspected of helping launder money for brother Gerry, and was targeted in a large investigation by Ireland’s Criminal Assets Bureau in the 1990’s.
