A man has appeared in court charged with the murder of 25-year-old Peter Conroy who was stabbed in west Dublin early yesterday.

Terry Connors of Drumcairn Drive in Tallaght has been remanded in custody for a week.

Peter Conroy from Clondalkin was stabbed in west Dublin during a row after a wedding.

It is understood the dispute broke out before 4am yesterday morning at a B&B in Palmerstown.

Today 40-year-old Terry Connors from Tallaght appeared at the District Court charged with murder at Palmerstown Lodge on Kennelsfort Road Lower.

Because it is a murder charge he will have to apply to the High Court for bail.

Judge Michael Walsh remanded him in custody to appear at Cloverhill District Court on this day week.
