Gardaí are set to launch a murder investigation after a man was found with stab injuries outside a house in Finglas, West Dublin.

The man, who previously lost his son in a horrific incident connected to a gangland feud, was found with the serious injuries outside a house in Dunsink Green following an attack that occurred shortly before 12:30am.

He was rushed to Connolly Hospital in Blanchardstown where he was declared dead a short time later. It is understood the man is the father of a man who was killed in a horrific bike crash a number of years ago.

His son’s death was connected to a then brewing gangland feud involving the mobster known as ‘Mr Flashy.’

In a statement issued this morning, Gardaí said they were investigating “all circumstances” surrounding the death of the man.

“Gardaí are investigating all of the circumstances surrounding the death of a man following a fatal assault in Finglas on Tuesday, 26th November, 2024.

“Shortly before 12:30am, Gardaí and emergency services responded to reports of an assault outside a residence on Dunsink Green, Finglas. A man in his 60s was treated at the scene and subsequently pronounced deceased at Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown” they said.

Officers added that the scene at Dunsink Green remains preserved for forensic examination. The Coroner has been notified and the Garda Technical Bureau and Office of the State Pathologist have been requested to assist in the investigation.

A post-mortem examination will be scheduled, they continued.

A Senior Investigating Officer (SIO) has been appointed to lead the investigation and an incident room has been established at Finglas Garda Station. A Family Liaison Officer (FLO) will be assigned to support the family of the deceased.

Investigating Gardaí are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident to come forward. They are particularly appealing to those with video footage and motorists who may have dashcam footage from the area at the time to contact them.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Finglas Garda Station on (01) 666 7500, the Garda Confidential Line on (1800) 666 111 or any Garda Station.

No arrests have been made at this time. Investigations are ongoing.
