Three people have been arrested in connection with a fatal house fire in Co Kerry ten years ago.

Anthony O'Brien, 30, and his five-year-old daughter Nadine, died in the fire in Tralee on 12 May 2012.

The fire broke out at Killeen Heights in Oakpark at about 2.20am that morning.

Two men, both aged in their 40s, were arrested this morning and are being held at garda stations in Tralee and Killarney.

A man aged in his 30s, who was arrested in June in relation to the investigation, was released without charge.

A file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
