Two files are being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions in connection with two suspected arson attacks on a school in Dingle, Co Kerry.

The files related to two juveniles, although it has not been confirmed they are pupils of the Christian Brothers' secondary school where the fires occurred.

The first fire took place on New Year's Day and caused significant damage, disrupting classes for a number of weeks. The second fire took place last weekend.

Up to 250 students at the school were fingerprinted in the investigation.
