Four children, including a baby, were among five people rescued from the top floor of the IPAS centre in Drogheda on 31 October.

A man in his 20s was arrested in Co Louth last night, with a second man, also in his 20s, detained this morning.

Both are currently being held at a Garda station in Louth and have been charged after 8pm tonight.

They are due to be rushed to court tonight for a special sitting of Drogheda court.
