Three men have been arrested after a fatal shooting in Limerick yesterday.

The victim, who's been named locally as 51-year-old Andrew O'Donoghue, was shot in the head at a motorcycle clubhouse at Mountfune in the village of Murroe at around 3pm.

He died a short time later at University Hospital Limerick.

Three men - two in their late 40's and one in his 20's - were arrested last night in the Limerick area and are currently detained at Henry Street and Roxboro Road Garda Stations.
