Gardaí are continuing to investigate the fire which gutted the former Ross Lake House Hotel on December 16.
As part of this investigation, Gardaí from the Galway Division and the National Bureau of Crime Investigation arrested four people this morning.
Two males, aged in their 40s and 50s, have been arrested for alleged offences contrary to the Criminal Damage Act 1991 and are currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
Two females, aged in their 40s and 50s, have been arrested for alleged offences contrary to the Offences Against the State (Amendment) Act 1998 and are currently detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939.
