Gardai have not been able to question a man who fired shots at gardai because he has been in hospital since his arrest.His detention has been suspended until his medical treatment is complete and then will be questioned.
"He was terrorising his community - it is likely now that it will take several days before he is fit to be interviewed. For the time being a heavily armed team of gardai will be monitoring him." The gunman, who was disarmed by brave gardai after he blasted the gun at them, had fled to a bathroom where the grenade and gun was recovered.
The Ballymun man has been arrested under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act and can be held for three days.
