Man arrested in connection with Limerick murder

Gardaí in Limerick have arrested a man in his 30s in connection with the murder of Thomas Moran in Limerick.

The victim, who was in his 20s, was found dead in the early hours of yesterday morning on some waste ground near a burned out house in the Southill area of the city.

He is understood to have been shot, but gardaí say they do not believe his killing was related to the long-running feud between rival criminal gangs in Limerick.
