Gardaí have arrested two men in connection with the death of a man in Dublin last month.
Ian McDonnell was killed when he tried to intervene in the theft of his car.
On Sunday the 23rd of January at around 6:15pm, Ian McDonnell noticed his Volkswagen Passat, which was parked on the Robinhood Road in Ballymount, was about to be stolen.
He tried to stop the culprits and was carried on the bonnet of the car for a distance.
He was later found lying on the roadway with "serious life-threatening injuries". He died in hospital five days later.
Gardai have arrested two men in their 20s today.
They're being questioned at Garda Stations in the south west area of Dublin, and can be held for up to 24 hours.
