Gardaí continue to look for clues into alleged shooting in Longford estate

No one was injured in the incident which took place shortly before 4pm last Tuesday (January 24) with the scene being preserved for a full forensic and technical examination.

An almost immediate public appeal was launched as investigating officers canvassed local businesses for possible C CTV footage in a bid to identify those responsible.

“Investigating gardai are appealing to anyone who was in the Dundarragh area of Longford on Tuesday January 24, 2023 between 3.30pm and 3.45pm, or in the Longford town area from 2.30pm and 3.40pm and seen anything unusual, and who may have witnessed this incident to come forward,” said a garda spokesperson.

"Gardai are also appealing to those with camera footage or to any motorist with dash cam footage from the estate at the time of the incident to contact the Incident Room at Longford Garda Station."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Longford Garda Station 043 3350570 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111.
