Gardaí are investigating a gun attack at a house in Rathkeale, Co Limerick, on Sunday morning.

Multiple shots were fired at the house, which was occupied, including a child, at the time.

The shooting at New Road, Rathkeale, occurred around 5 am.

No one was injured in the attack, which gardaí suspect is linked to an ongoing feud between families in the town.

Armed gardaí were deployed to the scene as part of investigations.

No arrests have been made, and investigations remain ongoing.

A Garda spokesman said: “Shortly after 5 am on Sunday, 30th November 2025, Gardaí responded to reports of gunshots fired at a residential property in the Rathkeale area of County Limerick.”

“None of the occupants were injured.”

“The scene has been preserved for examination by local scene of crime officers, and investigations are ongoing.”
