Two men questioned over Garryowen murder

Limerick Gardai are continuing to question two men in connection with the murder of man in the city earlier this year.

Forty-year-old Mark Moloney was gunned down near his home in Garryowen on the 5th of April. The men, who were arrested earlier today, are being questioned at Henry Street Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.

They are suspected of withholding information about the murder, which has been linked to gangland activity in Limerick, the Irish Independent reports.
