Five arrests in raids over Aidan O'Driscoll killing

Five people were arrested during early morning raids on houses in Cork yesterday as part of an investigation into the murder of former dissident republican Aidan O’Driscoll.

They were the first arrests made by gardaí since Mr O’Driscoll, 37, was shot dead on December 7 last as he walked along Great William O’Brien Street, Blackpool.

Gardaí were questioning four men, aged from 20 to 70, and a woman in her 20s after the raids yesterday morning.
