It has emerged today that children from the local area were enjoying a birthday party on a bouncing castle just yards from where the stabbing took place.

These residents say don't feel safe letting their children play in the area.

“I don’t want them to play outside,” said one. “We have a back garden so I let them play outside the back.”

“It is not the best of estates is it?” said another. “It is the not the first time things like this have happened. I have two teenagers at home myself and I don’t even let them out.

“It is hard. I am a cancer patient so I shouldn’t be stressing out so I keep myself to myself.”

This man knew the victim:

“He was a really nice guy,” he said.

“We did hang out on a good few occasions. He was a really nice guy who never caused trouble anywhere. It is just really unfortunate.”

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident, or were in the area between 6:30pm and 7:15pm - or any passing cars with dashcam footage - to contact Tallaght Garda station on 01-666-6000, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800-666-111 or any Garda station.
