Man jailed for discharging shotgun through window of house

A 23-year-old man who discharged a sawn off shotgun through the sitting room window of a Ballyfermot house in the early hours of the morning has been jailed for seven years.

Daniel Kavanagh, whose father is serving a life sentence for murder, claimed that he attacked the house in retaliation for an assault on his sister in an ongoing dispute between two local families.
