Yesterday, the Justice Minister insisted that "no stone is being left unturned by both the Gardaí and the PSNI" into the attack.

In one of the most significant developments in the investigation to date, Gardaí have confirmed that three people have been arrested.

The two men and one woman are being detained this morning for questioning.

Last week the chief suspect in the investigation, Cyril McGuiness, died during a police raid in the UK.
