Two people in the house were lucky to escape injury after a shotgun was discharged at the house.

The shot was fired in a downstairs room where the two people were sitting at around 1 O'clock this morning.

Minor damage was caused to the house, and a window was broken.

The person who discharged the firearm escaped from the area.

Gardaí haven't yet recovered the weapon.

A number of hours later a car was found burned out, close to the Cleariestown area. Gardaí haven't established it the two incidents are linked.

Both scenes have been sealed off and a technical examination will be carried out later this morning.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the incident.
