GUNSHOTS were fired at two residential properties in Co Galway shortly before 4am last night, it has been confirmed.
Criminal damages occurred at the properties in St Grellan’s Terrace in the Ballinasloe area but gardai have confirmed that no injuries were reported.
Gardai rushed to the scene of the incident at around 3:50am this morning.
Investigating officers have urged anyone who may have any information to come forward, particularly if it relates to a dark-coloured saloon car.
A garda spokesperson said: “Investigating Gardai are appealing to any person who may have information in relation to this incident to contact them.
“Any person who was in the St Grellan’s Terrace and surrounding areas at Brackernagh, Ballinasloe between 3:30am and 4:30am and who may have mobile phone or dash-cam footage, is asked to make this available to Gardai.

ITVEmmerdale’s new schedule has come in the wake of budget cuts[/caption]
It means 75 roles will be lost across cast, crew and writers, with redundancy talks now underway.
The teams were told last night that they needed to be on site this morning for a formal meeting, with the news reducing most to tears.
Around 600 people work across Corrie and Emmerdale.
The brunt of the job losses are likely to be felt in production.
Currently, Emmerdale airs six episodes per week, Monday to Friday with a double episode on Thursdays.
Coronation Street also airs six episodes per week, spread across Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, with two episodes each night.
Now just five 30-minute episodes of each soap will air.
Under the new changes, which will begin in January 2026, Emmerdale will air for half an hour every day at 8pm, followed by a half-hour episode of Coronation Street straight after at 8:30pm.
It is being dubbed a soap “power hour”.
ITV boss Kevin Lygo said: “This new commissioning pattern will mean five hours of soaps a week, rather than the current six.
“We are conscious this will have an impact for the people who work on the soaps team.
“We will support our colleagues in ITV Studios as they work through these changes, and will do what we can to mitigate the impact on our people.”
He went on: “These changes are motivated by doing what we believe is best for the continuing success of these important programmes in the long term.
“They also create headroom in the overall programme budget for investment in programming that can help ITV grow reach in a very very competitive market.”
Fans will be seeing a bit less of the CobblesRex FeaturesITVHelen Worth also stepped down from her iconic role as Gail Platt on Corrie[/caption]
Insiders at the channel say it will help make both Emmerdale and Coronation Street more “streaming-friendly”.
The new structure will launch with a huge stunt on both soaps.
A source added: “Soaps are incredibly important to ITV and this is about preserving their longevity for the future.
“There has been a super squeeze in production costs and it was necessary to make changes but Corrie and Emmerdale both remain integral to ITV.”
It comes after a string of big name stars quit Coronation Street and many have called out the budget crisis which has left them struggling to make ends meet.
Coronation Street's 2024 shock exits
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.
Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.
Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.

AN ULTRA-rare Jaguar from the 1960s – dubbed ‘the most beautiful car ever made’ by Enzo Ferrari – is up for sale.
Images showcase the striking 1961 Jaguar E-Type 3.8-litre Series 1 FHC in Opalescent Silver Blue, a colour that highlights its sleek and timeless design.

This particular Jaguar E-Type, is an early-production model with a remarkable motorsport history, having spend decades as a successful race car driven by British racer Allen Lloyd.
The car will be auctioned by iconic Auctioneers on Saturday, 22nd February 2025, at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry.
“The car presented here is a 1961 Jaguar E-Type 3.8 litre Coupe, and apart from being a very successful historic race car, it was fascinatingly the 58th example ever built,” states the listing.
In recent times, the Jaguar has campaigned successfully at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps multiple times, winning its class before making regular appearances in Motor Racing legends pre-63 GT series, a prestigious championship for Iconic FT cars of the late 1950s, supporting major racing events across the UK and Europe.
On its debut on 15 March 1961, legendary Italian carmaker Enzo Ferrari, founder of Ferrari, famously called the E-Type “the most beautiful car ever made.”
Known for his pursuit of speed and perfection, Ferrari’s praise cemented the Jaguar E-Type as an icon of automotive design.
The car has an official certificate confirming its eligibility for historic racing.
While its documents are up to date, it is recommended that interested buyers verify all details and ensure the safety equipment (belts, seat, roll cage, fuel tank, fire extinguisher, etc.) meets current regulations.
Comprehensive details of the car’s mechanical specifications and championship eligibility are available to serious buyers.
As this historic E-Type takes centre stage at auction, Jaguar itself is undergoing a bold transformation.
The British marque has announced plans to relaunch in 2026 as a fully electric, high-end luxury brand, moving away from its traditional petrol-powered lineup.
The shift is already making waves, with Jaguar’s recent unveiling of the Type 00, a striking electric concept car that sparked debate among enthusiasts.
While some see it as a radical departure, Jaguar insists the reinvention remains true to the company’s ethos of fearless creativity and innovation.
Jaguar’s Chief Creative Officer, Professor Gerry McGovern, said: “Jaguar has no desire to be loved by everybody… Some may love it now, some may love it later, and some may never love it. And that’s okay, because that’s what fearless creativity does.”

After strolling to meet the singletons at the Firepit, Samie pulls Luca Bish, 25, for a chat.
In scenes to be aired on Love Island All Stars tonight, the pair talk about DM’ing one another outside the Villa.
Not pulling any punches, Samie tells the former fish seller: “I fancy you, I think you’re good looking.”
He then replies: “I think you’re good looking.”
Samie follows up and says: “So you fancy me?” to which Luca adds: “Erm I think you’re good looking…”
Persisting with the flirting, Samie replies “What, are you scared of the word fancy?”
Luca’s show partner Grace later finds out about Samie and Luca’s DM’s from Elma.
Things get more troubling for the Brighton-based lad as the night rolls on.
As they get ready for the evening, Luca tells Curtis: “My mind is shot to bits man.”
Curtis then asks: “Is it because of this whole Samie situation? Do you feel like you’re confused?”
Luca then replies: “I genuinely don’t know.”
During a game of spin the bottle at the firepit, the Islanders spin and have to read out a card with either a truth or dare for themselves or for the group to partake in.
As the game includes kissing dares, Luca asks Grace: “Who would you want me to kiss?”
Revealing who she has set her sights on in the villa, Samie revealed Luca is a bit of her.
When asked who she hopes to strike up a romance with, she replied: “Luca,” adding, “I feel like he’s very much a bit of me looks wise and watching him on this series, I like that he’s in touch with his emotional side.”
She went on: “He’s been the voice of reason throughout the whole Villa, I’m always saying ‘thank god someone said that…finally!’.”
“Him and Grace look like they’re going fine, but you can’t believe everything you see,” Samie replied.
“The game is the game, this is what happens.
“If he does have a good thing with Grace and stays with her, then he wasn’t for me,” she said.
