A second home in Finglas was the subject of a suspected petrol bomb on Saturday night.
It comes after an attack during the early hours of Saturday morning on an innocent family member of James Whelan, the 29-year-old father-of-one who was killed last month. His mother and another person were in the house at the time of the attack, Dublin Live understands.
Neither or them have any involvement in crime, nor does anyone who lives in the house.

The second attack on Saturday night involved an innocent relative of notorious Finglas gangster Mr Flashy, Dublin Live understands.
The relative does not have any involvement in crime and neither does anyone else living at the home.
The alarm was raised shortly after 11pm and crews from Dublin Fire Brigade attended the scene. They in turn contacted the gardai and the scene was sealed off for a time in order to gather forensic evidence.
A garda spokesman told Dublin Live: "Gardaí responded to reports of a fire at a residence in Finglas, Dublin 11 on Saturday evening, 21st May 2022.
"The fire was extinguished by Dublin Fire Services. The scene was preserved for a technical examination by investigating Gardaí.
"Investigations are ongoing."
Gangland shooting victim James Whelan was buried in a golden coffin at a funeral mass in Dublin city in April.
The 29-year-old was gunned down and killed by notorious Finglas drug dealer Mr Flashy’s mob in the early hours of Sunday morning, April 3.
Whelan, a father-of-one, is believed to have been attempting to carry out a petrol bomb attack on a property connected to Finglas mob boss Mr Flashy when he was shot dead in the Deanstown Avenue area of Finglas.
It is also understood that Whelan, who had over 50 convictions, had fallen out with Mr Flashy — who gained his nickname from his constant flaunting of his wealth and designer gear on social media.
The feuding between both sides reached boiling point when an associate of Mr Flashy was abducted, beaten and dumped in Finglas last month.
