The victim was walking home from a nearby pub with a group of friends when he was shot twice in the head by a gunman at around 2.20am in a suspected gang-related attack
A development in the Garda investigation into a gangland murder in Dublin seven years ago within recent days will result in a new file being forwarded to the DPP, an inquest has heard.
Mr Ennis, a father of one from Timberhill Apartments in Artane who came originally from Darndale, was later pronounced dead at the scene. Det Insp Maguire applied for a six-month adjournment of the inquest under Section 25 of the Coroners Act on the basis that criminal proceedings are under consideration.
At the time of his death, it was reported that the deceased had a history of involvement in robberies and drugs and had several criminal convictions including firearms offences.Although he had connections with both the Kinahan and Hutch criminal gangs, gardaí do not believe his death was linked to the gangland feud between the rival groups which has claimed the lives of 18 people to date.
