Gardaí denied that any firearm was discharged during an incident of criminal damage in a Wexford town housing estate on Thursday. After a serious shooting in a different estate the previous weekend, concerns grew in the Clonard area due to rumours that gunshots were fired at another house. A circular hole was visible in the front window, and Gardaí carried out door-to-door enquiries at neighbouring properties. Gardaí stated that the holes were not believed to be caused by bullets and were more likely caused by something thrown through the window. The damage is believed to have occurred between Wednesday and Thursday, and information is requested from the public via Wexford Garda Station or the confidential line.
