A MAN  in his 20s is scheduled to appear before Limerick District Court this morning, Monday, October 14, charged in connection with the unlawful discharge of a firearm during an incident in Ennis.

He was later released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

During follow-up inquiries, a second male aged in his 20s was subsequently arrested and detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939, at a Garda station in County Clare. He has since been charged. The investigation is ongoing.
