Gardaí investigating the fatal shooting of a man in a Co Dublin caravan park this week have issued a description of a woman they wish to speak to.
Michael Taylor (53) from Summerhill in Dublin’s north inner city was shot at Hand's caravan park in Donabate, north Co Dublin, on Monday evening. He died at Beaumont Hospital in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Two men wearing balaclavas and dressed in grey and black hooded tops entered the park and attacked Mr Taylor at around 4.40pm. They fired at least four shots, shortly after the victim arrived at the caravan park with a friend.
The men ran away in the direction of Donabate beach and got into a stolen metallic blue Opel Insignia, with an 09 D registration, in which they travelled to Turvey Woods. The vehicle was then set on fire and the men left in a black Honda Civic hatchback with an 07 D registration. The car was later located in the Glasnevin area.
The incident has been linked to a long-running dispute between two men from the north inner city, one of whom is associated with the victim.
Gardaí said today they wish to speak to a female witness who was in the area of New Road Donabate on Monday between 4.40pm and 5.00pm.
The woman is described as being of medium height, with dark shoulder length hair. Gardaí believe she was wearing a zip-up tracksuit top. She was travelling in a orange coloured car and called into a residents house on the New Road.
