Gardaí unable to say if latest shooting feud-related

A MAN was shot in Limerick last night, the latest in a spate of violent incidents plaguing the city.

Gardaí were unable to say if the shooting of the man in his 30s on the Rathbane council housing estate was feud-related.

There were, however, unconfirmed reports that the victim of last night’s shooting was related to a man who was shot in the back at Lenihan Avenue in Prospect last week. The victim of last week’s shooting, who was thought to have been targeted by a criminal gang, made a full recovery.
