Three arrested after gun attacks on family home

A MAN arrested in Limerick yesterday with two women in connection with two recent gun attacks is believed to have links to members of the McCarthy Dundon gang who carried out a notorious feud murder in April 2007.

The three arrested are being held under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act as part of the investigation into shootings at Lenihan Avenue.

The most recent attack was carried out at 2.35am on Friday when shots were fired into the house where a family, including children, were living. Nobody was hurt.
