A 36-year-old man has been arrested in Kerry as part of an investigation into an alleged vigilante attack in which a man was kidnapped and beaten in December 2001.
The local man is the sixth person to be questioned as part of the investigation into the assault. He is being held at Killarney Garda Station.
Last week, Sinn Féin’s director of elections in North Kerry, Mr James Sheehan, was questioned in relation to the incident before being released without charge.
A group calling itself "Concerned Parents Against Drugs" has claimed responsibility for the assault on December 7th.
During the incident the abducted man's six-year-old daughter was left on the road in Castleisland at around 6 p.m. as four masked men bundled her father into the back of his own car and drove him to a remote area in Lyracrumpane, before burning the car and beating him.
He can be held without charge for 12 hours.
