On arrival, they discovered a 52-year-old man with serious stab wounds. The man was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.   

It is believed the man was injured following a row at his home and he collapsed while trying to get help.

A 19-year-old man was arrested shortly after midnight and is currently detained at Ronanstown Garda Station. 

Anyone with information is being asked to contact Lucan Garda Station on 01-666-7382, the Garda Confidential Telephone Line on 1800-666-111, or any Garda station.

Chief reporter with The Herald, Conor Feehan, outlines what's known about the attack:

“It seems this man who lives on one of the houses on Buirg an Rí Walk, a 52-year-old man was attacked in his own property and stabbed, we don’t know how many times,” he said.

“[He] managed to struggle from his own property and made his way two doors down and made his way to a garden where he collapsed and subsequently died.”

The scene has been preserved for a technical examination and the Garda Technical Bureau is in attendance.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses or anyone with any information to contact them.
