The couple were also hospitalised as a result of their ordeal.
Councillor Gerry McMonagle said he wanted to thank both the Gardai and the community for their help with the investigation.
He said “Gardaí are to be praised for their quick response and for the work they put in to apprehend the suspect.
“I would also like to commend the local community for their support to the family concerned and in helping the Gardaí with their enquiries in this matter.
“I would ask local communities to remain vigilant at this time and to continue to look out for their elderly and vulnerable neighbours.”
