Third man charged and due in court over fatal assault in Dublin restaurant

A third man has been charged in connection with the death of Tristan Sherry in Dublin on Christmas Eve.

Gardaí have charged the man, who arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into a fatal assault that occurred at a restaurant in Blanchardstown on December 24.

He and a second man also charged in connection to the assault, are due to appear before a sitting of Blanchardstown District Court this Friday morning.

A third man in his twenties, Michael Andrecut, was charged with Mr Sherry's murder before a special court sitting last Saturday and has been remanded in custody.

Mr Sherry is one of two suspected gunmen who entered Brownes Steakhouse on Christmas Eve and opened fire, injuring a man in his 40s.

He sustained fatal injuries after being tackled and assaulted inside the premises in Blanchardstown after the shooting, which is suspected to be gang-related.

The man injured in the shooting, Jason Hennessy Snr, died of his injuries from multiple gunshot wounds on Thursday, January 4, at the Mater Hospital in Dublin.

Gardaí have now launched a murder investigation into Mr Hennessy's death.
