Two men in their twenties remain in Garda custody this morning, in connection with the murder of Robert Sheehan in Co. Clare.

The 21-year-old, from Moyross in Limerick, was gunned down outside the Bunratty Castle Hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning, as he attended a family wedding reception.

He was taken to the Mid Western Regional Hospital in Limerick, where he lost his fight for life yesterday evening.

Gardaí have launched a murder investigation and said they are following a number of lines of inquiry.

They are appealing for anyone with information in connection with this murder to contact them.
