Gardaí say that their investigations into both incidents are ongoing.

They come less than 48 hours after a gunman opened fire and sprayed bullets at a house hitting a man three times.

Gardaí are treating it as attempted murder; it is the third such gun attack in the town in the ongoing feud between two main criminal gangs.
