A man in his 20s is due to appear before Limerick District Court this morning charged in connection with the unlawful discharge of a firearm during an incident in Ennis, Co. Clare.
On Friday last, shortly after 10.00pm, Gardaí responded to reports of gunshots outside a residential property on Lahinch Road, Ennis. Damage was caused to the property, but no one was injured.
