He had been out in the town celebrating the birth of his niece with family when he and his father Eamon suffered injuries. Eamon was transferred to Tallaght University Hospital from Portlaoise for his wounds but they are not believed to be life threatening.
Now gardai are asking anyone who may have been in the area at the time to get in touch as they work to determine the course of their investigation. A post mortem is due to take place in the coming days.
A garda spokesman said: "Any person who was in the vicinity of Dublin Street, Monasterevin between 12.15am and 12.45am on Sunday, 21 August 2022 is asked to contact investigating Gardaí. Any road users who were in the area and who may have camera (including dash cam) footage is asked to make this available to Gardaí.
