He is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda station in the Meath/Westmeath Division.

Gardai suspect Mirjana Pap was killed and her remains were taken to a field near Taughmaconnell, where they were found on Monday.

Shane Tiernan says their aim is to have a network of greenways and recreational trails that are interconnected.

A neighbour of Pap's has been expressing her thoughts on her death.

The ESB says it is working to restore electricity supplies to the affected areas and urges the public to never approach or touch fallen or damaged electricity wires.

The page has described the Croatian national as a "beloved member" of the community, and that any contributions will ensure that Mirjana is "laid to rest with the dignity and love she deserves."

A post mortem exam will take place at University Hospital Galway, which will determine the course of the investigation.

Two cars have been seized and examinations are taking place at the scene, as well as a home in Athlone.
