Detention of tiger robbery suspects legal, says court

Three of the seven people detained as part the Garda investigation into last weekend's robbery of more than €7m from the Bank of Ireland have lost their High Court bid to be released on the grounds that their detention is unlawful.

The three, two men and a woman, who were arrested last Friday night brought their applications on the grounds that their period of lawful detention had expired by the time the hearing of an application for an extension of 24 hours had commenced.
