Paddy Lyons (44) shot in Ballymun a week after his partner died from illness, leaving behind a young son
Gardaí investigating the gun murder of a man in north Dublin just over two years ago have arrested a man for questioning. He is being quizzed about the February, 2021, killed of Paddy Lyons in Ballymun.
The suspect, who is in his 40s, was detained on Monday morning under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act, allowing for his detention for up to a week without charge. He is being questioned by detectives at a north Dublin Garda station. Gardaí suspect Mr Lyons was murdered as part of a localised dispute having fallen foul of dangerous criminals. They do not believe his killing was linked to any wider gangland feud, as the deceased was not involved in gangland crime.
The father of one was fatally wounded in the Belclare estate, Ballymun, at about 9pm on Thursday, February 11th, 2021, during the pandemic period when gun crime had plummeted. His remains were on the road at Belclare Terrace beside Poppintree Park when the emergency services arrived at the scene.
