Gun shot on Cork to Limerick road linked to attack that left girl with suspected fractured skull

At one point, a firearm was discharged from one of the vehicles in the direction of the second vehicle

Gardaí are investigating the incident.

Gardaí fear that a gun attack on the N20 is linked to a deadly feud between Traveller clans in Cork and Limerick, which previously saw a 12-year-old girl hospitalised with serious injuries.

The latest incident happened between Charleville and O’Rourke’s Cross around 7.20pm on Wednesday night, when a firearm was discharged from one vehicle targeting another.
