Gardaí have released a woman who was being questioned in connection with a fire last year that resulted in the deaths of two firemen in Bray, Co Wicklow.

The woman - who is aged in her 20s - was arrested by gardaí from Bray Garda station yesterday morning on suspicion of reckless endangerment.

She was released without charge overnight, and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

It is the second arrest in just over a month as part of a Garda and Health and Safety Authority (HSA) investigation into how the part-time firefighters died.

A man in his 40s arrested last month was later released without charge. A file is being prepared for the DPP.

Firemen Mark O'Shaughnessy (26) and Brian Murray (46), a father of 13, died when they became trapped inside a smoke-filled factory on Lower Dargle Road in Bray after its ceiling collapsed on September 26th, 2007.
