Limerick gardaí yesterday arrested two brothers as part of an investigation into an incident last week in which a youth suffered a gunshot wound to the head.
The men, one in his 30s and the other in his 40s, were arrested in O'Malley Park, Southhill, at around 8 a.m. yesterday.
The pair were being held yesterday under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
Both were being questioned about an incident in which a 15-year-old youth was shot in the head in O'Malley Park on the night of September 5th.
It is understood that the incident was linked to a dispute on the south side of the city, which has deteriorated in recent months following several violent incidents.

Online planning query system
Donegal County Council has launched an online planning query system that will transform how the public can access information.

According to the council's head of information systems, Mr Brian Boyle, the facility will lessen the need for members of the public to visit public service centres.It can be accessed at www.donegal.ie/dcc/eplan
'Raunchy' club left homeless
A Galway nightclub which was the subject of a Garda complaint over a raunchy show last month has been left homeless following a decision to ban it from the Black Box Theatre, which is owned by the City Council.
Club Outstageous, which provides entertainment featuring dancers on podiums, was at the centre of a controversy following a complaint to gardaí concerning one of its shows.
The club, whose website asks people to leave their "notions and inhibitions at home", has staged three to four shows a year at the Black Box for the past three years.
Last month's complaints related to a simulated sex scene between two scantily clad women which, the organisers claimed, was a re-enactment of a scene from the film Paris Texas.
