Two people have been arrested in relation to arson attacks at Co Cork homes.

A woman, in her 60s, and a man, in his 20s, are being quizzed in connection with the incidents which happened in Belgooly over four months ago.

A fire which broke out at an unoccupied house spread to two other homes at around 11pm on July 2.

The blaze resulted in one property being "completely destroyed".

Gardai investigating the incidents arrested the two suspects on Wednesday morning. Both are being held at Bandon Garda Station.

A spokesman said: "One of the homes was completely destroyed as a result of the fire.
