It is understood a number of other occupants were in the house at the time, but were not injured in the shooting. The injured man is recovering in the Mid Western Regional hospital in Dooradoyle.

Gardai are also examining a burned out car found on the Rathkeale bypass to see if it was linked to the attack.
