Five men have been arrested in connection with the murder of a Cork drug dealer last month.
Eric Cummins (31) was shot dead outside his home in Ballincollig, Cork, on August 13th.
Four men were arrested in Cork last night and another was detained in Dublin. All are being questioned in Cork Garda stations and can be held for up to 72 hours before being charged or released.
Cummins, a native of Cork city, had just returned home with his partner and their 18-month-old son following a family day out when a gunman approached him and shot him at close range.
Gardaí believe the murder of Cummins may be related to the drugs trade. Cummins also had links with the Limerick underworld.
