Tributes have been paid to Dick Sadlier, a founding member of the Progressive Democrats, who showed “courage” in helping attempt to broker peace between rival gangs while he was mayor of his native Limerick.

A 16-YEAR-OLD Limerick girl miraculously escaped death yesterday when she was accidentally shot by friends doing target practice with a powerful handgun at an all-night house party.

A VAN, used by murdered Limerick teenager Aidan Kelly, was stolen and burnt out hours before he was lured to his death.

THE Limerick teenager shot dead late on Wednesday night was possibly a “soft target” revenge killing for an attack, earlier that day, on members of a city feud gang.

A LIMERICK teenager who was arrested carrying a submachine gun early yesterday may have been on his way to carry out a feud killing.
