A man, aged in his twenties, and a male who’s in his teens remain detained at Tralee Garda Station where they’re being questioned under section four of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.

Their arrests bring to seven the number who’ve been apprehended by gardaí in relation to the fatal stabbing of 43-year-old Thomas Dooley from Hazelwood Drive, Ballyspillane, Killarney last month.

On October 5th, Mr Dooley was attending a funeral at New Rath Cemetery in Tralee when he and his wife, Siobhán, were attacked.
