Three security guards were hospitalised, a dog was put down as a result of its injuries, and vehicles were burnt out after a group stormed the house which had recently been repossessed.

The man in his 50s was arrested this morning following a search by gardai.

He was arrested under the provisions of Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939 and is currently detained at Castlerea Garda Station.

Another man who was arrested in Co Mayo yesterday in connection with the incident appeared at a special sitting of Castlerea District Court this morning.

The 54-year-old was remanded in custody to appear at Harristown District Court on January 18.
