Gardaí investigating the death of Thomas 'Tom' Dooley at Rathass Cemetery, Tralee, Co Kerry, last year have made another arrest.

The man in his 60s has been taken to a garda station in Co Kerry for questioning.

Mr Dooley, 43, from Hazelwood Drive, Ballyspillane, Killarney, was stabbed after attending a funeral in Tralee on 5 October 2022.

The father-of-seven was pronounced dead at the scene. His wife was seriously injured.

Three men and a teenager accused of murdering Mr Dooley are due to go on trial at the Central Criminal Court in Dublin next May.
