Gardaí were called to the scene at around 5:30am and the 34-year-old was taken to the Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise where he later died.

This morning, Gardaí arrested a man in his mid 20s in connection with the investigation. He is being held at Naas Garda Station.

It comes after investigators arrested a man in his late 20s from the Carlow area yesterday. He is detained at Kildare Town Garda Station.

Speaking yesterday, Garda Superintendent Martin Walker said investigators believe there were "a number of people were in the vicinity" during the incident and appealed for anyone who was in the area to come forward.

He also appealed for passing motorists and anyone who may have dash cam footage to come forward.

This morning, Gardaí extended their appeal to drivers of white delivery vans who were in the area at the time to get in contact.
