Who's involved here? It sounds like feuding criminal families. Don't wanna jump the gun here and upset our neighbours but is there a Limerick connection in all this??

This shooting is not linked to limerick or any gangland feuding. The guy that was shot was a troubeld young man with a herion addiction

A 25-year-old man has appeared at a special sitting of the District Court in Ennis charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a man in Kilrush.

Brendan O'Sullivan of 10 O'Gorman Street, Kilrush, was charged with murdering Leslie Kenny at O'Gorman Street on 29 July.

The court heard that when he was cautioned and charged today, he replied: 'I did not intend to do this, I was trying to protect my family.'

He was remanded in custody to appear at court again at Ennis on 3 August.

His solicitor, Eugene O' Kelly, said they would be making an application to the High Court for bail.
