File image: Rolling News

Gardaí are investigating if the injuries were inflicted by a low-velocity weapon.

A man has been rushed to hospital following a suspected shooting in south Dublin.

The victim was found with serious injuries in the Russell Place area of Tallaght shortly after 4pm.

It is believed he suffered wounds to his stomach consistent with being shot and is currently receiving treatment for non life-threatening injuries.

Gardaí are investigating if the injuries were inflicted by a low-velocity weapon.

A large number of gardaí, including members of the Armed Support Unit, responded to the scene which remains sealed-off this evening.

In recent months gardaí have been investigating separate shooting incidents in the area linked to a local feud.

However, there is no indication at this early stage if today's incident is linked to that dispute.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Tallaght garda station on 01 6666000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station
