Man accused over shooting gets bail

A father of two, charged with a shooting at the home of a rival biker gang member as retaliation for the murder of his “best friend”, has been granted bail.

Dermot McKenna, aged 49, of Hillview Park, St Patrick’s Road, Limerick, is charged with possession of a shotgun, reckless discharge of a shotgun, and criminal damage at the biker’s home.

McKenna is alleged to have fired two shots from a legally held shotgun at the home of a rival biker on June 21, in retaliation for Andrew O’Donoghue’s murder the previous day.
