Man arrested in connection with double gangland murder

Gardaí have arrested a man in his 50s in connection with the double gangland murder in Dublin's north inner city earlier this month.

The man was detained this morning in connection with the fatal shooting of 35-year-old Michael Cronin and 26-year-old James Moloney in the Summerhill area on January 7.

He is being questioned at Store Street Garda Station, where he can be held for up to 72 hours before he must be charged or released.

Five other people were arrested in connection with the shooting last week, but all were later released without charge.
