Man gets 5 years for firing shots into house

A LIMERICK man who was shot and wounded in a feud attack was jailed for five years yesterday when he admitted firing three shots from a handgun into a house in Moyross in retaliation.

Limerick Circuit Court heard that Aidan Cahill, 21, of Craeval Park, Moyross, was seen firing the three shots on a CCTV security system which had been fitted to the house.

Cahill pleaded guilty to intentionally and recklessly discharging a firearm, creating a risk of death or serious harm and unlawful possession of a firearm.
