Two men have been arrested on Thursday in connection with a house fire in Tralee, Co Kerry, 10 years ago which claimed the lives of a father and daughter.

A man in his 30s was arrested in June of this year and was released without charge with a file being prepared for the DPP.

Two men in their 40s were then arrested by gardaí on Thursday morning, and are being held at Tralee and Killarney Garda stations.

Anthony O'Brien and his five-year-old daughter Nadine died in the fire on May 12, 2012.

The housefire occurred at a residential property in Kileen Heights in Tralee. 

A Garda spokesperson has said investigations are "ongoing."
