A man in his 50s has been arrested in connection with the investigation into the murder of Kerry farmer Michael (Mike) Gaine last year.
Mr Gaine was reported missing from his home at Carraig East, around 8km from Kenmare, in Co Kerry, on Friday 21 March 2025.
Human tissue found on his farm were identified in May that year as his remains.
Gardaí said that a man was arrested this morning and is being held at a garda station in Kerry.
This is the second arrest in the investigation.
Mr Gaine was last seen on 20 March 2025.
The 56-year old was well known in farming and motorsport circles.
Hundreds of people joined a search of the rugged, mountainous terrain of his 1,000-acre farm, co-ordinated by gardaí and the Coast Guard.
The Garda Water Unit also searched a number of lakes, streams and rivers within a 5km radius of Mr Gaine's home.
On 25 May, gardaí arrested and questioned former US soldier Mike Kelley on suspicion of Mr Gaine's murder. He was released without charge just over 24 hours later.
Mr Kelley, who was working and living on Mr Gaine's farm when he disappeared, confirmed in a subsequent interview with RTÉ News that he was the man who had been arrested and questioned by gardaí.
Mr Kelley denied any involvement in Mr Gaine's death.
