It comes just a day after a 32-year-old father of one was stabbed to death at a house in Kiltalown Way in Tallaght.

He was attacked after a fight broke out between a group of men who had been drinking heavily all day yesterday.

A knife was recovered from the scene and a man in his 30s was taken in for questioning.
