Fatal Shooting Woman (30s) arrested in connection with Michael Tormey murder

Gardaí have arrested a woman over the fatal shooting of a man in Ballyfermot, Dublin earlier this year.

Michael Tormey (49), a married father-of-three, was shot dead in the front garden of his home on Thomond Road, Ballyfermot, just after 4.30am on Sunday, January 9th.

The woman, aged in her early 30s, is currently being detained at Clondalkin Garda Station.

A garda spokesperson said: “A woman in her early 30s has been arrested as part of the investigation into the fatal shooting of a man in his 40s that occurred at a residence in the Thomond Road area of Ballyfermot, County Dublin on Sunday, 9th January, 2022.

“The woman is currently being detained at Clondalkin Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939.

“Investigations are ongoing.”

A man who had been charged with Mr Tormey’s murder was released on bail last month.

Christopher Devine (40) of Convent Lawns, Ballyfermot, was charged with his murder and was remanded in custody following a district court appearance on January 19th.

However, the High Court granted bail in February and Mr Devine is due to appear before the district court again on April 6th.
