Officers attached to the Garda Armed Support Unit (ASU) were also drafted in overnight as unformed officers and detectives carried out door-to-door enquiries in the area.
One line of inquiry is the violent scenes may have been prompted by an ongoing feud that has steadily intensified between two warring factions in the midlands town over recent weeks.
