The Tanaiste says he’s shocked by the sharp rise in violent deaths.
Eight people have been killed in the first three weeks of this year, compared to six in the first three MONTHS of last year.
There have been fatal attacks in Waterford, Offaly, Louth and five in Dublin, the latest, a shooting in Tallaght last night.
It’s understood the dead man, who hasn’t yet been identified, is in his early 30s.
Eamon Gilmore has condemned the killings, saying that this type of crime has no place in Irish society.
