A man in his 50s has been arrested in connection with the tragic Bray fire in which two fire fighters were killed.
Gardaí investigating the fire in Bray, Co Wicklow arrested the man early this morning.
The man was arrested under the Non Fatal Offences Against the Persons Act, other wise known as endangerment, and is being held at Bray Garda Station.
The man is the third person to be questioned over the deaths. A woman was arrested in October and a man in his 40s was detained in September.
Both were released without charge.
The two fire fighters, Mark O'Shaughnessy, 26, and Brian Murray, 46, died tragically in September 2007 at the scene of a fire at a disused factory in the town when the roof collapsed.
An inquest into the men’s deaths opened in November last year at Dublin County Coroner's Court and was adjourned until this March to allow the garda inquiry into the deaths continue.
