Gardaí are continuing to question six people in connection with the fatal shooting of a man at a house in Tipperary on Sunday night.
Eoin Cahill (25), father of one, was shot and killed when two armed men burst into the house three miles from Clonmel.
A second man was shot in the arm in the attack, which gardaí believe may relate to a drugs feud between rival gangs.
Gardaí arrested three men and a woman early yesterday morning in connection with the shooting.
Two other men arrested about a break-in at Mr Cahill's house in Cahir were released and immediately rearrested - also in connection with the shooting.
All six, who are aged in their 20s and early 30s, are being held at Clonmel Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
Gardaí believe the two gunmen had an accomplice or accomplices in a waiting getaway car.
It understood that gardaí have recovered the getaway car, although this could not be confirmed.
Fine Gael TD for South Tipperary Tom Hayes says the crime rate in the Clonmel area rose by 37 per cent last year alone.
While Garda numbers, Mr Hayes claims, have only increased by 8 per cent since Fianna Fáil and the PDs took power in 1997.
"What is really shocking is that, despite this massive increase in crime, there is a chronic shortage of gardaí across south Tipperary," he said.
