A man in his 30s has died four days after being seriously injured in a Dublin assault.

The man, who was one of two people injured during an attack in Clondalkin on Saturday night, was pronounced dead at Tallaght Hospital on Wednesday.

No arrests have been made and gardai at Clondalkin are renewing their appeal for witnesses.



The local coroner and State pathologist have been notified and arrangements were being made on Wednesday for a post-mortem examination.

The results of the post-mortem will determine the direction of investigations.

An incident room has been set up at Clondalkin Garda Station and a liaison officer has been appointed to provide support and updates to the man’s family.

Gardai are specifically urging passengers who travelled on the number 13 Dublin Bus from Clondalkin on Saturday between 9pm and 10pm to come forward, especially those who disembarked at the bus stop on St Cuthbert’s Road and proceeded towards Grange View Road.

Additionally, investigators are seeking information from anyone who was in the Tower Road area of Clondalkin between 9.30pm and 10.15pm, or in the Grange View Way area between 10.00pm and 10.30pm.

They are also looking for any potential camera footage from that time period.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Clondalkin Garda Station at 01 666 7600, the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
