A man has been arrested this afternoon in relation to the murder of Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch’s brother Eddie Hutch seven years ago.
The man, who is in his 40s, is being questioned in connection with the fatal shooting on Poplar Row in Dublin 3, which occurred on February 8, 2016.
He is currently detailed under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 at a Garda station in North Dublin.

This latest arrest follows the arrest earlier this month of another man, 42, in prison.
That man, described as a Kinahan cartel hitman, was released without charge and a file is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
A four-man hit-team, including the two gunmen, are suspected of being involved in the murder of Eddie Hutch.
Mr Hutch, a father of five and taxi driver from Poplar Row, Ballybough, was gunned down as he pulled up in his taxi outside his home.
A silver-coloured BMW 3 series vehicle, believed to have been used as the getaway car, was found abandoned a short distance away from Mr Hutch's house on St Patrick’s Parade in Drumcondra.
He was the first of six people associated with the Hutch gang to be murdered by the Kinahan gang in the feud that has claimed a total of 18 lives.
His murder came just three days after the Regency Hotel shooting that saw David Byrne shot dead.
Eddie Hutch’s younger brother, Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch walked free from the Special Criminal Court on Monday, April 17 after being found not guilty of the murder of Kinahan cartel gangster David Byrne in the Regency attack.
