The High Court was told last night that gardai had released Ms Lisa Traynor, the daughter of the convicted Dublin criminal John Traynor, after almost 36 hours in Lucan Garda station.
Mr Feichim McDonagh, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, told Ms Justice Laffoy that the gardai were happy to release Ms Traynor (23) and had no desire to detain her further.
Mr McDonagh came into court shortly before 7 p.m., following an earlier application by Ms Traynor's lawyers for her production in court. They were concerned about her health and said she was vomiting and had been seen by a doctor a number of times.
Ms Justice Laffoy granted the habeas corpus application at about 5 p.m. and directed that Ms Traynor be produced by 7 p.m.
Making the application earlier, Mr Brendan Grogan SC, for Ms Traynor, said she had been arrested at 7 a.m. on Thursday under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, on the grounds that she had information about the possession of firearms and the Veronica Guerin murder.
A Garda chief superintendent had extended the initial 24-hour detention for a further 24 hours.
His instructions were that after the custody order was extended, Ms Traynor had been questioned by Criminal Assets Bureau investigators about any property in her father's possession.
A doctor was called to his client three times in the station. Ms Traynor was retching, vomiting and very distressed.
Mr Grogan said he was concerned about Ms Traynor's health. She was not suspected of any crime but was being questioned about information she might have about others.
Mr Jim Orange, solicitor, told the court he went to Lucan Garda station at midday on Thursday after receiving instructions to represent Ms Traynor. She had been ill a number of times and he had asked for a doctor to be called.
He saw her a number of times that afternoon and she was still extremely distressed.
Gardai were seeking knowledge of guns and information about the Veronica Guerin murder, he said.
Mr Orange said he had gone to Lucan Garda station yesterday, where her custody records showed she had had three doctor's visits and had been questioned by at least one member of the CAB. He said Ms Traynor was questioned about her father's property.
At one stage she had been questioned continuously for two hours and 20 minutes, and this was brought to the attention of the gardai concerned, he said.
Mr Orange said he had made a formal complaint about what appeared to be an abuse of detention by the gardai. Ms Traynor had originally been arrested for questioning in connection with a murder and firearms but ended up being questioned on unrelated matters. She had been asked if she had witnessed a deal or transfer of property by her father.
