Gardaí say this latest suspect is being held at a Garda station in west Dublin.

A third arrest has been made in connection with the death of a man at a restaurant in West Dublin on Christmas eve.

Tristan Sherry died during a botched shooting after he walked into Browne's Steakhouse on the main street in Blanchardstown on Christmas eve and shot a man.

He was then tackled and stabbed as he tried to escape.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Last Saturday, 22-year-old Michael Andrecut, with an address at Sheephill Avenue in Dublin 15, was charged with his murder.

Yesterday Gardaí detained a second person in connection with Mr. Sherry's death.

He is still being questioned.

Now a third arrest has been made.

Gardaí say this latest suspect is being held at a Garda station in west Dublin.
