SEVEN men arrested by gardai investigating last month's murder of the north Dublin criminal, Mr P.J. Judge, were still being questioned last night.

The men, from the Finglas and Cabra area, were all arrested at breakfast time yesterday under the Offences Against the State Act, which allows 48 hours' detention.

Mr Judge, a heroin dealer and suspected double killer, was shot dead as he left a public house in Finglas on December 8th. It is believed his death arose as a result of a dispute with other criminals.
