• Man sent to Tullamore Circuit Court on firearms charges Discharge of a firearm · Co. Offaly

  Daniel Kavanagh, 48, is alleged to have discharged a shotgun through the front window of a house at 37 Kearney Drive, Tullamore, on February 28 and June 4, 2026, injuring Rebecca McDonagh with flying glass. Gardaí said the background to the alleged offences was a feud between the Kavanagh and McDonagh families. Kavanagh was arrested, made admissions when questioned, and was charged with discharging a firearm and possession of a firearm with intent on both occasions. He appeared at Tullamore District Court, was granted bail with conditions, and was sent forward to Tullamore Circuit Court for trial on November 17.
