They were released without charge this afternoon and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The two women were arrested in the Tallaght area this morning after 7a.m. and were both detained at Tallaght Garda station pursuant to the provisions of Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939/98.
