Bail for Irvinestown shooting suspect

THE man arrested following a reported drive-by shooting in Irvinestown at the weekend has been released on bail after appearing at Enniskillen Magistrates Court.

Paul Sweeney (26) from Railway Park, Kesh is charged with possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, having ammunition in specious circumstances as well as possessing the drugs cocaine and Pregabalin.

Sweeney appeared before the court this morning (Monday), when police stated they believed the incident on the evening of June 28 on the Kesh Road in Irvinestown, when it believed a shot was fired from a passing vehicle, may have been the result of a retaliation over perceived lack of justice for an assault.

Sweeney was remanded on his own bail of £500 and released under a number of conditions. The case was adjourned until July 29.
