A woman arrested on Thursday as part of the investigation into the murder of Donna Cleary in Coolock, Dublin, almost two years ago has been released this morning and a file is due to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Ms Cleary, a 22-year-old mother of one, died after a gunman opened fire on a house party at Adare Green, Coolock, on March 5th, 2006.

Gardaí believe the 24-year-old woman arrested in Whitehall on Thursday is the girlfriend of a man gardaí think was at the scene of the shooting with the gunman.

They believe the woman was given the gun to dispose of after Ms Cleary was shot dead. The woman was arrested at a house on Thatch Road, Whitehall, on Thursday morning.
