The woman who died after a suspected stabbing in Dublin overnight has been named as 34-year-old Skaidrite Valdgeima.
The 34-year-old mother-of-three lived in Deerpark Walk in Blessington, County Wicklow.
She was originally from Latvia.

Gardaí have launched a murder investigation and are continuing to question a man in his 30s who is understood to have been known to the victim.
Blessington Councillor Gerry O'Neill said the area is in shock.
“It is shocking, absolutely shocking, to think that someone from the town here on a visit to Dublin and this tragedy happens,” he said.
“It is absolutely unthinkable.
“It is a dreadful situation that a young woman would meet her death like this.”
