A man in his 20s was shot in the face during a break-in at a house in the Dunlo area of Ballinasloe, Co Galway, at about 3:15am on Monday 3 August 2026.

He survived and was treated at University Hospital Galway for injuries described as non-life-threatening.

On 5 August 2026 a man in his 20s was arrested in connection with the shooting and detained at a station in the Garda North Western Region under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007.

A 47-year-old woman was found unresponsive at her partner's house on O'Brien Street in Waterford city on the morning of 25 January 2025 and was pronounced dead a short time later. The State Pathologist gave the cause of death as blunt force traumatic injuries to the head and abdomen, and told the trial she had found extensive external and internal injuries whose overall pattern was consistent with a sustained assault, including bruising around both eyes consistent with direct trauma such as a punch and neck injuries consistent with compression by a hand. A 35-year-old man is on trial for her murder at the Central Criminal Court. The prosecution case is that the injuries were the result of a violent assault; the defence contends that she sustained them accidentally in falls after drinking. The trial opened on 9 July 2026 before a jury of five men and seven women, and the jury began its deliberations on 27 July 2026 after the judge completed his charge.
