A post-mortem examination was conducted on Saturday evening.

While the results are not being released for operational reasons, gardai say the man died as a result of injuries sustained during an assault.

An incident room has been established at Blanchardstown Garda Station, and the investigation is being carried out under the direction of a Senior Investigating Officer.

A Family Liaison Officer has also been appointed and continues to keep the family informed of the investigation.

Gardaí are continuing to appeal to any person who was in the vicinity of Blanchardstown Road North, the Old Navan Road and Blanchardstown Shopping Centre and surrounding areas between 12am and 3am on Saturday, October 22, and observed any activity which drew their attention to come forward.

A garda spokesperson said: “Any road users (particularly taxi drivers) or pedestrians who were travelling in these areas at these times who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.

“Anyone with any information is asked to contact Blanchardstown Garda Station on 01 666 7000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.”
