A man has died following an assault at a house in Blanchardstown, Dublin, on Monday afternoon.
Three people were hospitalised following the incident, which occurred at about 4pm at Ashfield Park.
It is understood an argument broke out between a number of people who were in the house and it escalated, spilling out onto the street. A large garda presence responded including the Armed Support Unit and a Garda helicopter.
A man, aged in his 40s, was taken to James Connolly Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. It is understood he had suffered stab wounds.
