Detective Chief Inspector Jim Eastwood, who is leading the investigation, said: “I would like to thank the public for their overwhelming support following this horrific incident. “As a result of yesterday’s release of CCTV footage, an arrest has been made and this investigation is progressing apace. “Mr O’Halloran’s family have been informed of this development and continue to be supported by specially trained officers.” Tributes have poured in for Mr O’Halloran, who was known for busking with his accordion in the area.

Local Fine Gael senator Martin Conway said Mr O’Halloran was a regular visitor to Ireland and his death had left his hometown of Ennistymon and north Clare in “deep shock and sadness”. Mr Conway noted the passionate musician was “very popular” in Greenford and was often taken to charity events.
