A man in his 30s is in a critical condition after a shooting on farmland outside Tallaght in Dublin.
The incident occurred on lands in Lugmore in the Mount Seskin area at around 1pm.
The area is off the Blessington Road and is known to be rural and used for farming.
The man was treated at the scene by gardaí and paramedics just after 1pm, before he was taken to Tallaght University Hospital, where his condition is described as serious.
It is believed he had been shot in the head.
Gardaí said a man in his early 50s had been arrested at the scene.
The scene has been preserved for a forensic examination and gardaí at Tallaght are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.
A dog was also shot at during the incident.
Detectives do not believe at this stage the incident is linked to organised crime and are investigating if a dispute or a row arose over the dog before the shooting occurred.
