Their South Kerry home is a crime scene and there is no estimated time for the return of DNA results or the preparation of a file for the DPP

The two people arrested in connection with the Kerry Babies investigation could be in limbo for “months”, their solicitor has claimed.

The two — a man aged in his 60s and a woman in her 50s — were arrested last Thursday. It came some 39 years after the discovery of the infant, thereafter named Baby John, on White Strand Beach near Caherciveen, Co Kerry.
