Gardaí in Limerick have arrested two men in connection with the murder of 47-year-old John Ryan last week.
Mr Ryan was shot dead in the Thomondgate area of the city last Monday as part of feud between family-based criminal gangs, the Keanes and the Ryans.
The two men arrested today were detained during raids on a number of houses on Limerick's northside, where both of the gangs are based.
