Gardaí are cross-checking the man's DNA against samples taken from the crime scene, while they are also being checked against forensic evidence taken from the mountain bike believed to have been used by the killer.
Vigils were held around the country over the weekend in Ashling's memory ahead of her funeral which is due to take place on Tuesday.
The chief executive of Safe Ireland has also called for an “all of Government” response to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence following Ashling's death.
