A resident has warned members of a north Dublin area that an ongoing feud has flared up again following attacks on two houses on Monday night.

One house in Ballymun was left 'destroyed' after "four car loads of lads with baseball bats, kicked in a hall door on Coultry Drive with a family inside", a local claimed.

The person told Dublin Live that the attackers "wrecked the house, there's no windows left.

They also claimed that in an apparent act of "retaliation, shots were fired at a house in Shangan Green."

"I saw the lads going into the house [at Coultry Drive] and I also saw a young lad getting a few digs outside."

"Then all the armed response went flying to the house that was shot at [in Shangan Park]."

"It's already out of control and there is being word put out in the area that a war is on."

In a statement to Dublin Live, Gardaí said they "are investigating an incident of criminal damage at a house at Coultry Drive, Ballymun which took place at 7:55pm on 15 April where a number of windows at a house were damaged".

They added that "in a second incident, a window was broken at a house at Shangan Park shortly before 11pm on 15 April".

But, they said that there was "no evidence of shots being fired and no injuries reported during either incident."

The attacks are said to be part of an ongoing feud in the area that is said to be resurfacing.

In September of last year, a gang of thugs blasted a house in the early hours of the morning as part of the feud, while in July 2018, a double shooting occurred in broad daylight.

Sources have said that the feud is centred around two warring factions who are involved in the drug trade in the area.

They added: "This is something that goes on a lot in certain communities but the issue is that these young thugs have access to firearms."
