45-year-old man dies after being stabbed in Dublin

The incident occurred at around 10.45pm last night.

A 45-YEAR-OLD man who was stabbed in Dublin last night has passed away.

Gardaí are investigating the incident which occurred at North Strand in Dublin 1 at 10.45pm. The 45-year-old sustained a number of stab wounds when he was attacked by another male.

A source told TheJournal.ie that he received five stab wounds including one to the head. He received life-saving interventions on scene from Dublin Fire Brigade paramedics.

He was taken to the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, where his condition was described as critical this morning. However gardaí said he died of his injuries earlier today.

Investigating gardaí are appealing for witnesses or anyone in the area at the time to contact them at Mountjoy Garda Station on 01 666 8600, the Garda Confidential Line 1 800 666 111 or any garda station.

    A man lost his life and people on here use this article to further a country v Dublin slagging match. Pretty classy. Hopefully his family don’t have the misfortune of reading your contributions.

    Dublin City just gets worse and worse.. That whole north strand area is a complete kip! We must have the only City in Europe that you cannot see a visible police presence, yet Dublin is one of the most violent Cities..

    Very true buddy the whole country hears about a stabbing in the north inner city. But it happens in south county Dublin. The judge gives them a suspended sentence and put a blanket ban on it being reported. That’s a Fact. The justice system in Ireland is a laughing stock

    I’m not even gonna bother diving into that disgusting culchie v dub nonsense, were all human beings.

    I’ve a different point to make…I think our state is facilitating murder with it’s weak sauce criminal justice system.
    When the death penalty was abolished in 1990, nobody really objected because of the possibility of executing someone innocent. But the promise was that instead there would be life imprisonment…and that has turned into something that is reviewed every 7 years, meaning you can murder someone this year and be walking around the streets in 2020 as your victims cold body lies in a box in the ground…am I the only one that thinks thats outrageous? Why can’t life mean life?
    It’s part of a general theme of our justice system, there are suspended sentences every five minutes….and it all boils down to one thing: there are no serious consequences for serious crimes in Ireland. They’re just not there, we have guys coming into court on their 20th conviction and still getting a suspended sentence.

    So I’d like to suggest just two simple changes:
    -Life meaning life for murder (and attempted murder, you should not get bonus points because you didn’t succeed)
    -A 3 strike limit for violent crimes after which you join the murderers and die of old age in prison.

    It’s time there were actual consequences for plunging a knife into someones gut, our system seems more than willing to lock you up for not subscribing to RTE but it takes a mountain moving to lock you up for anything violent. Our new justice minister needed a commission to give her ideas on what to change. Theres plenty of common sense changes that could be made to the system right now and if you don’t have any ideas you don’t deserve the job.

    I was merely retaliating to your boyfriend Flash Gordon’s comment above putting down our good City. Other than that I wouldn’t have opened my mouth. The main thing is Dublin have the best GAA team in the country by a mile. Pity the puny country lads are not able for the City boys. That’s all that counts. Sam will be home again soon.

    While i agree with you on having the best GAA team in the country the rest of your posts are pathetic. Dublin city is a kip. Junkies around every corner harrassing everyone and robbing people.
    your ego is built on a football team?? wow that is sad if thats the only good thing you have to say about dublin. Remember there is just as many dubs moved out of that kip to our culchie counties… What does that tell you?
    There is a minority of juvenile half wits (like yourself) who think Dublin is the best and only place on this planet based on GAA theoretics.
    Remember it was originally created and played by culchies before the Dubs started playing it. So stop with the hypocrical shite your spreading like the pig shite you hate and try educate yourself a bit. I promise if you do that you wont make yourself look like such a monumental arse bag as much as you do now.
