A local councillor has said the Castlebar community will provide every support to Irish woman Eileen Gibbons, who is in a critical condition in hospital following a shooting in the Australian city of Darwin. 

Ms Gibbons, 38, a Castlebar native and mother of one, sustained serious abdominal injuries in the shooting, which happened at a premises on Sprigg Street in the Darwin suburb of Millner earlier this week.
