GARDAÍ investigating the suspected murder of Martin Clancy in Limerick have arrested a man in his mid-20s.

The man, who was arrested in Cork City at around 8pm, is being detained for questioning at Roxboro Garda Station in Limerick.

The body of Mr Clancy, 45, was found in his flat on Little O’Curry Street in Limerick City on Sunday evening at around 6pm.
