Gardai investigating the murder of a prominent figure in the Cork drugs trade last year have arrested a 29-year-old man.
The man was arrested at 10.30am this morning and the man is being held at Bandon Garda station under section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, a Garda statement said.
David Brett (34), a father of four, was shot dead outside Foilagohig national school near Ballydesmond, north Cork, on May 21st, 2007.
Gardaí believe he was lured to the remote townland by someone he knew and trusted before being shot a number of times in the head and neck.
In March, an inquest into Mr Brett's death was opened and adjourned after gardai said the investigation is ongoing and criminal proceedings are being considered.
Gardai arrested a man in April in relation to the case and sent a file to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
A native of Togher on Cork's southside, Mr Brett lived at Cromogue, near Liscarroll, about 11km (seven miles) from Charleville in north Cork with his partner Michelle, daughter Michaela and sons David, Cian and Darragh.
He had been caught drug dealing when he and an associate - John Murphy, from Glen Heights Road, Ballyvolane, Cork - were arrested with more than €100,000 worth of ecstasy tablets at Murragh, Ballymartle, in Cork on October 22nd, 1998.
