He had been living in the house, which is in the Lioscian estate in Mooretown, with a number of other foreign nationals. He was taken to Beaumont Hospital for treatment but died from his wounds.

The Garda spokeswoman said that a second man arrested in connection with the stabbing was still in custody. It is the latest in a series of violent deaths in the Lithuanian community in Ireland.

In July, a 21-year-old Lithuanian man was fatally stabbed after a late night party at a house in Clones, County Monaghan.

Gardai arrested two men in connection with the death and a file has been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
