Local TD Noel Rock said shootings like these, in residential areas with many children, were becoming more frequent.
Mr Rock said the community was shocked by the incident and he said he had contacted the local Garda Superintendent following the shooting.
“The fact that a shooting happened on this same road only a few short months ago underlines the need for [additional] resources,” Mr Rock said.
