The group had dispersed by the time police arrived.

A short time later, a male in his 20s arrived at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown with serious injuries. He was subsequently pronounced dead.

A man in his 20s has been arrested and is in police custody.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward and said they will provide an update in due course.
