Suffolk Police believe he boarded the 13:43 BST train from Ipswich towards London on Wednesday. | |
The Irish Garda said Myerscough had travelled to Dublin on the ferry from Holyhead in Wales on Thursday lunchtime. | |
Officers established he had booked a flight to Budapest but he was arrested at a hotel in Dublin city centre earlier on Friday. | |
Myerscough has since appeared at the High Court in Dublin and was remanded in custody until his next appearance on 20 October. | |
Det Insp Paul O'Brien, from the Garda's Sex Offender Management and Intelligence Unit, said: "This is an example of close co-operation between the Irish and UK authorities." |
