Gardaí investigating the murder of father of two Aidan O'Driscoll in Cork say it's too early to determine who was responsible for his shooting.
The 37-year old former Real IRA Chief – was shot three times as he was walking along Commons Road in Blackpool at 5 o'clock yesterday evening.
The road remains sealed off for a forensic examination but Gardaí expect it to reopen after lunchtime.
Superintendent Michael Comyns says witnesses and information from the public will be key to resolving the murder of Aidan O'Driscoll – a father of two – who was engaged to be married.
The Ballyvolane native had links to the Real IRA and this will form a major part of the investigation but Superintendent Comyn says it's still early days:
A silver grey Nissan Almeira car and a white Vauxhall Astra van were later found burnt out at Redemption Road and in Killeens and these will form a major part of the investigation as will the results of a post mortem being carried out this afternoon.
Aidan O'Driscoll – who's nickname is The Beast was gunned down on Commons Road in Blackpool and people here are shocked by what happened:
Anyone with information is being reminded that everything they say to Gardaí will be held in the strictest of confidence.
