A MAJOR Garda operation is currently underway in Rathkeale today as part of ongoing investigations into incidents of money laundering in the region.
A number of premises are being searched by Gardaí from the Limerick County Community Engagement Functional Area supported by members from the Limerick Crime Functional Area, Regional and National Units.
Meanwhile, Gardaí also responded to an unrelated incident during the early hours of Sunday, November 30 after reports of gunshots fired at a house shortly after 5 am.
Multiple shots were fired at the house, which was occupied, including by a child, at the time.
The shooting at New Road , Rathkeale, occurred around 5am.
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 parts of investigations.
No arrests have been made and investigations remain ongoing.
A Garda spokesman said: “Shortly after 5am 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.”
