In a significant development, two men have been arrested in Meath and Donegal in connection with a decades-old crime—the murder of a Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) officer and the attempted murder of a colleague. The events date back almost 50 years to a fateful day in Dungiven, Co Derry.

The suspects, aged 73 and 72, were apprehended under a Trade and Co-operation Agreement (TaCA) Warrant as part of a joint operation with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI). Their alleged involvement centres around the tragic incident that unfolded on July 26, 1975.
