Two young men have been arrested after the discharge of a firearm in Limerick. Gardaí from the Limerick Crime Functional Area arrested the men as part of ongoing investigations into an incident where a firearm was discharged in the Hyde Avenue area, Ballinacurra Weston, Limerick city on Thursday, May 8. During the incident, three houses were targeted during a drive-by shooting.

The two men, aged in their 20s and late teens, have been conveyed to Garda stations in Co Limerick and are currently being detained under the provisions of Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2007. It comes as Sinn Féin TD Maurice Quinlivan recently spoke in the Dáil about the issue of criminal gangs in Limerick. He mentioned the ongoing feud in Ballinacurra Weston, where a string of feud-related incidents have been taking place. Mr Quinlivan had told the Irish Examiner: 'There's an ongoing feud in the Ballinacurra Weston area, which diverts the resources from the King's Island area. Other areas need attention at the moment because of ongoing issues on the back of drug dealing, particularly crack cocaine.'
