A man has been charged with the attempted murder of another man in the city last May.
Shane Mason, of Sean Heuston Place, was further charged by Gardai following a shooting in May which left a 20 year old man, Daniel Phillips, fighting for his life in hospital.
The accused appeared at Limerick District Court Wednesday where Gardai gave evidence of charging the 28 year old with the attempted murder of Daniel Phillips at St John’s Square on May 24th, 2010.
He is already been charged with the possession of a firearm and ammunition with intent to endanger life at St John’s Square on the same date.
“Sarah Ryan, solicitor for the accused, said bail had been refused in the High Court and she was not making any new bail application.
Judge Olann Kelleher on the application of Insp Brendan McDonagh returned Mason for trial to the Central Criminal Court.”
A man arose from the visitors gallery during the hearing and began shouting at the accused before being escorted out of the courtroom.
Gardai say the book of evidence in the case is still being assembled and the accused was remanded to appear again, via video link, on August 18th.
