Dublin: Man dead after city centre assault

A 21-year-old man has died following an assault in Dublin city centre. Gardaí (Irish police) responded to an incident on Clarendon Street where a man was found in a serious condition at about 03:00 local time on Monday. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The scene is currently preserved for technical examination. The State Pathologist has been notified and a post-mortem examination will be arranged in due course. Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the incident to come forward. Leona Harper was one of 10 victims of an unexplained explosion at a service station four years ago. She was a renowned Irish dancer who performed the lead role of Saoirse in the Lord of the Dance. The threshold at which people start paying the higher income tax rate is also expected to increase. The teaching unions began work-to-rule action on Monday and there will be a full one-day strike on 14 October. A new exhibition is celebrating the role of women in the rich Irish communities across northern England. Copyright 2026 BBC. All rights reserved.
