Gun attack triggers city feud concerns

Teenagers with family links to Limerick’s feuding McCarthy-Dundon and Keane-Collopy gangs were involved in a gun attack during a late-night confrontation on Thomond Bridge in the city centre.

A senior garda said they were concerned that a new younger generation were now taking up “the mantle” of the feud. It is the first feud-related shooting incident in the city in more than two years.

The latest incident occurred at around 10.30pm on Tuesday when shots were fired by youths from Moyross with links to the McCarthy-Dundons. It is understood their intended victims were a group related to the Keane-Collopys.
