Photograph: Colin Keegan/Collins DublinA man was rushed to hospital for emergency treatment after being shot and wounded in what appears to be a freak incident involving men out hunting and another party looking for golf balls at a Co Dublin golf club.
Gardaí suspect one of the hunting party saw movement in the dark late on Monday night and fired a shot at what he thought was an animal, but fired at the injured man instead. It appears the man who was wounded was with a second group of people out looking for golf balls in or around a lake on Corrstown Golf Club in Kilsallaghan, north Co Dublin, close to a country boundary with Co Meath.
The injured man was wounded in the upper body and while he was expected to survive, he required intensive care treatment in Dublin’s Mater hospital after the incident at about 11pm. The men who were looking for golf balls in the lake in the environs of the golf club were wearing wetsuits, though it was unclear if they were diving, or wading into, the water at the time.
