More searches in Donegal after bomb-making equipment found

Further searches are to be carried out later today around Raphoe in Co Donegal following the discovery of bomb making equipment in the area.

Three people arrested earlier in the week in connection with dissident republican activity in the area have been released without charge.

A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The arrests may be connected to the investigation into the murder of a Tyrone man in Donegal almost two months ago.

27 year old Andrew Burns was found shot dead in the carpark of a church in the village of Doneyloop on February 12 last.
